Filming your world: a global video competition
What is the one thing about your life and your surroundings that you want the whole world to know about? The BBC World Service is running a video competition called “MyWorld” that asks people to send in a two-minute video of the world from their perspective. The entries will be judged by filmmakers from different continents and the winning entrants will have their videos broadcast on the BBC.
The BBC’s Simon Pitts explains the project. We also hear from two video contributors: Ron Geren from Los Angeles, whose video tells the story of an important figure in his life. Matome Senyolo of Johannesburg created a love letter to his township.
The story you just read is available to read for free because thousands of listeners and readers like you generously support our nonprofit newsroom. Every day, the reporters and producers at The World are hard at work bringing you human-centered news from across the globe. But we can’t do it without you: We need your support to ensure we can continue this work for another year.
When you make a gift of $10 or more a month, we’ll invite you to a virtual behind-the-scenes tour of our newsroom to thank you for being with The World.
