LabourStart Sponsors Labor Video Contest

by James Parks, Feb 9, 2010

Have a video that depicts the plight of today’s workers? LabourStart, the global online labor news service, is sponsoring a Labor Video of the Year competition, open to trade unionists and film-makers from around the world.

The videos must be on the web and run less than 10 minutes. The films must focus on work, workers or workers’ issues. You do not have to be the owner or producer of a video to submit it for the contest.

The deadline for nominations is Feb. 15 at midnight GMT (Feb. 14 at 7:00 p.m. EST). 

An international panel of judges will prepare a short list of finalists, and online voting will begin sometime in March. Winners will be announced after two weeks of online voting and the winning films will screened at the LabourStart conference, July 9-11, 2010, in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada.

LabourStart features daily labor news provided by a global network of more than 500 volunteer correspondents in more than 20 languages. Its news syndication service is used by some 700 trade union websites.
