OneWorld / Staying Alive World AIDS Day 2003 competition

If you're aged from 15 to 34 - and fancy yourself as a budding radio or TV director - then now's the time to get creative.

MTV and OneWorld International are running a global competition in the run up to World AIDS Day, on 1 December 2003.

The competition will enable young people from around the world to produce and submit original audio or video public service announcements (PSA) that convey the messages of MTV's award winning HIV/AIDS awareness campaign, Staying Alive (www.staying-alive.org).

MTV and OneWorld share a commitment to the global fight against HIV/AIDS and this unique collaboration aims to reach an audience at a global and local level.

Entrants will be able to unleash their creativity to develop a public service announcement aiming to create awareness, fight stigma and discrimination, and empower youth to protect themselves.

The winning PSA will be streamed on the Staying Alive site - and will be made available to all 26 local MTV web sites - and will be featured on the OneWorld TV and AIDS Radio websites. The winner will also receive the Staying Alive 2003 Award, a newly created honour given to an individual each year who makes an important contribution for HIV/AIDS awareness.
