The OUR PRIDE 2021 Video & Arts Fest is a competition of videos & music submitted by YOUTH (age 18 & Under) with the 2021 theme focusing on how compassion unites people in the LGBTQ+ community.
The Video & Arts Fest is both a video competition and collaborative blended-learning educational program for YOUTH (age 18 & under))to create short videos about current issues and significant LGBTQ+ people, places and events. |

Youth participants work in teams or solo to create video entries running 1 to 5 minutes in one of seven genres, including Social Video Series, News Story, Short Documentary, Creative Fiction, Music Video, Animated Short, or PSA, and incorporating original music, poetry and other creative content.
Through research, collaboration and production, the program creates a new awareness and understanding of history, culture and issues, while directly connecting youth with mentors and elders in a cross-generation learning and personal growth experience. |
Youth under age 18 work with mentors and adult coaches (teachers/parents), while those age 18 & over participate independently, either solo or in teams. Participants connect locally and around the world, as they gain a heightened awareness of the sometimes dramatically different LGBTQ+ social and cultural environments.
