Greenheart Travel’s 2019 Video Contest

Are you a filmmaker? Greenheart Travel is holding a video contest so that we can see your adventures! Videos will be judged based on their ability to tell a visual story and demonstrate our mission, “Travel for a Change.”

This contest is only open to those who are currently on or have completed a Greenheart Travel program.

Prizes:

Besides bragging rights, we will be giving cash prizes to the top 3 finalists:

  • Third Place: $50
  • Second Place: $100
  • First Place: $200 and $200 off any future Greenheart Travel program

Guidelines:

Videos that do not adhere to the following will be disqualified.

  • 2-6 minutes in length
  • The focus must be on your program, a cultural aspect of your country, travel tips, or something the fits with Greenheart Travel’s mission, “Travel for a Change.”
  • No copyrighted materials including sounds, certain fonts, and overlays. If you are using music, make sure it is copyright free.
  • Do not add the Greenheart logo
  • Do not film people without their consent
  • Only one video submission per person

Quality Requirements

You do not need to use professional equipment, but the video does need to meet a certain standard of quality. Here are some tips to make your video the best it can be.

  • Shoot horizontally to meet a 16:9 (widescreen) video format
  • Make sure video is 1920 x 1080 pixels (HD)
  • Some iPhones shoot in 4K, which creates higher-quality footage if you are choosing to shoot with a smartphone:
    • Go to Settings
    • Scroll to Camera
    • Tap Record Video
    • Select 4K

How to Enter

When you are ready to submit your video, send via WeTransfer to atazioli@greenheart.org. Make sure to include your full name in the message along with the title of your video and any attribution.

    Hello, I am a former Greenheart Travel participant and would like to submit a video for the contest. I was curious if my video of 1 minute and 38 seconds is grounds for disqualification? Please let me know so I may add extra footage.

    Hello! I am looking to submit a video entry for the upcoming contest and was wondering is 1 minute and 38 seconds too short for the video entry?
