The OUR PRIDE 2021 Video & Arts Fest showcases videos, photography & music submitted by YOUTH (Age 18 & Under) and those 18+PLUS (Age 18 & Older) with the 2021 theme focusing on how compassion unites people in the LGBTQ+ community.

OUR PRIDE 2021 Video & Arts Fest is a video competition and collaborative blended-learning educational program for YOUTH (Age 18 & Under) and those 18+PLUS (Age 18 & Older))to create short videos about current issues and significant LGBTQ+ people, places and events.

The participants work in teams or solo to create video entries running 1 to 5 minutes in one of seven genres, including News Story, Short Documentary, Creative Fiction, Music Video, Animated Short, PSA or TikTok, and incorporating original music, poetry and other creative content.
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.
​

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.
