Entries are invited for the World of 7 Billion Student Video Contest 2017-2018. We now live in a world of over 7 billion people and demographers expect us to reach 9 billion by mid-century.

Taking on these complex challenges and finding solutions will require understanding, cooperation and creativity.

Create a short video – up to 60 seconds – about human population growth that highlights one of the following global challenges: Advancing Women and Girls, Feeding 10 Billion, or Preventing Pollution. Consider narrowing your focus by concentrating on a subtheme within your topic. Possible subthemes include:

  • Advancing Women and Girls – access to education, gender equality, women in government, women’s health, child marriage
  • Feeding 10 Billion – hunger, food waste, resource and energy use, deforestation, pollution
  • Preventing Pollution – impacts on air, water, and land, climate change, human and wildlife health, ecosystem destruction.

    • One First Place: $1,000
    • One Second Place: $500
    • Two Honorable Mentions: $250
