This year, the partnership between the ASEAN Foundation and ASEAN-USAID PROSPECT, with the support of SOMY, to organise the 6th ASEAN Youth Video Contest 2022, emphasises youths to take action and raise awareness through a video production competition.

This year’s competition is inspired by the ASEAN Chairmanship theme for 2022: “ASEAN A.C.T.: Addressing Challenges Together” and the designation of 2022 as the Year of ASEAN Youth.

As one of this year’s biggest challenges for the region remains the COVID-19 pandemic, the competition will focus on how youth are addressing those challenges together. The 6th ASEAN Youth Video Contest 2022 theme is: "Youths Addressing Challenges Together – Stay Dynamic in the Time of Pandemic: ACT now!".

The 6th ASEAN Youth Video Contest 2022 will select 10 best amateur videographers throughout the region to participate in a four-day expert-led workshop, where participants will receive training on video production to improve their submitted videos. The top three videos would then be awarded as winners of this initiative.

The top 10 entries will be given the opportunity to participate in an expert-led filmmaking workshop in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, hosted by the Senior Official Meeting on Youth (SOMY) Cambodia.

The contest organizers officially open the application form from the launch date to the end of May 8, 2022 via the link https://bit.ly/AYVC2022.

This contest is supported by the U.S. Government through the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), the U.S Mission to ASEAN, Ministry of Youth and Sport, Cambodia and the ASEAN Foundation, in coordination with ASEAN Member States through the ASEAN Secretariat.
