Doctors for Global Health 2012 Video Contest
 
Doctors for Global Health (DGH) is conducting it's first ever video contest: "Challenging Scarcity: Health Justice for all."  

We are inviting individuals and/or groups to submit an original and creative video exploring their vision of scarcity today in support and in celebration of health justice. 

At DGH, we defend that health begins where we live, work, and play, and therefore that "Health Justice" can be defined in the widest sense, recognizing that there are numerous socio-economic factors (social determinants of health) responsible for health inequities across the globe.

Pick up your camera and join the health justice challenge now!

Video submissions can be in any style or genre of video, including, but not limited to, narrative, experimental, film art/video art, documentary, music, and animation. The winning videos will be shown at the Doctors for Global Health 17th General Assembly in Boston on August 11th, and all entries will be posted online at dghonline.org and on our facebook page.

 
Criteria for evaluation

Entries will be evaluated on the basis of creativity; how well they express and connect to the values and theme of “Challenging Scarcity: Health Justice for all”; and finally, the production value and artistic merit of the videos themselves.      

 
Rules for Participation

Duration: Videos should be no longer than 5 minutes.
