Open to broadcasters and independent programme makers within the Commonwealth, the annual Commonwealth Vision Awards recognise excellence in the making of a short film on a designated theme. The prizes are presented at a prestigious media event, with the winning entries broadcast widely, in both Commonwealth and non-Commonwealth regions.
'I'm sure that these clips will do more for the image of the Commonwealth than a thousand well-meaning words - reminding us that the Commonwealth is not just an association of governments but also a partnership of peoples'
HE Rt.Hon Don McKinnon, Commonwealth Secretary-General
The theme for 2008 is 'Global challenges and the new generation'.
The deadline for applications and a short synopsis of your proposed film is Monday 20 October 2008. This is the first phase of the competition.
The awards are presented by The Royal Commonwealth Society and the Commonwealth Broadcasting Association, with the support of Warburg Pincus, the Commonwealth Secretariat, the Commonwealth Foundation, the BBC World Service, the British Council and the Foreign and Commonwealth Office of the UK Government.
