In celebration of the 10th anniversary of the UN International Year of Volunteers (IYV +10), IAVE is inviting volunteers and volunteer-involving organization to submit creative short (30-60 second) videos showing their visions for how to make the world a better place through volunteering.
The year 2011 will be the tenth anniversary of the UN International Year of Volunteers. Known as “IYV+10″ the anniversary should be another important milestone in the development of global volunteering, and the international volunteer movement.
In the decade since the United Nations launched the International Year of Volunteers in 2001, at the global level, there have been a number of important advancements in the field of volunteerism: every one of the billions of people, who gives up their time to volunteer, becomes part of a grand movement that is much bigger than the sum of the parts.
Your video can show your volunteer work, your motivations for volunteering, your hopes and visions for 2011, it can inspire other people to volunteer, or any number of other things.
Contest Entry Deadline: October 31, 2010 (registration form postage date)

The International Association for Volunteer Effort (IAVE) was founded in 1970 by a group of volunteers from around the world who saw in volunteering a means of making connections across countries and cultures. It has grown into a global network of volunteers, volunteer organisations, national representatives and volunteer centres, with members in over 70 countries, and in all world regions.
