Competition for Media Students





Commonwealth Educational Media Centre for Asia is announcing the fourth edition of Community Radio Video Challenge (CRVC) for all students pursuing any qualification in media. The theme for CRVC 2017 is "Community Radio for Sustainable Development".
About the Theme
The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), officially known as “Transforming our world: the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development” is a set of seventeen aspirational "Global Goals" with 169 targets between them. Post 2015, these 17 goals have been adopted by United Nations, through a deliberative process involving its 194 Member States, as well as global civil society.
About Community Radio Video Challenge
The Community Radio Video Challenge (CRVC) was launched in 2013 as a joint initiative of the Commonwealth Educational Media Centre for Asia (CEMCA) and United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO). Its objective was to promote the engagement of Indian youth with community radio (CR), create awareness, and foster an understanding of CR’s importance for the self-expression, learning and development of local communities.
CEMCA has been working to promote the use of CR in learning for sustainable development since 2006. CEMCA has organized over 37 workshops in the past to create awareness about CR, ran a help-desk entitled “CEMCA Community Radio Facilitation Centre” to support new applicants, and served as a clearinghouse for information on CR. CEMCA helps capacity building of CR stations involving the local community in programme production.
Recognizing CR’s unique ability to encourage open dialogue and local transparency, give a voice to the less privileged, and foster good governance and social inclusion, CEMCA focuses on Community Media in its 2015-2021 six-year plan as a major focus area.
CRVC 2017 Awards Ceremony
Short films on the mentioned topic are invited from media students. The acceptable entries for CRVC will be evaluated by a distinguished jury. The winning films will receive awards and the filmmakers will be felicitated at a ceremony being organized by CEMCA at New Delhi on Wednesday, 17th May 2017.
