Forests for People: UN International Short Film Contest

One that united 200 million people in 193 countries to remind all of us just how vital forests are.

About the 2013 Contest

Forests for People is a short film contest that invites everyone, in every part of the world, to create and share a personal film about their own relationship to the forest. How it inspires you. Shelters you. Nurtures you. Contributes to your life, or even makes life possible.

How you create your film is entirely up to you. Use whatever you have to tell your story in up to 5 minutes or less. Every type of media, from video cameras to mobile footage, animation to photos, is welcome. You don’t have to be a professional filmmaker. We want everyone, everywhere, to participate.

The more stories that are told, the richer and more diverse our portrait will be. Each new entry opens a unique window on our unique human connections to the forest. Together, they will help everyone see the forests in a compelling new light.

How to enter
Once you have created your film, entering it is easy. Just visit our contest page on Withoutabox, follow the simple steps, and your film will be entered in no time. You can do it from any computer, anywhere in the world, and your information will be securely held.

Judging and finalists
After the contest ends on February 22st, 2013, an international jury will select 15 semi-finalists and five finalist films to be premiered in Istanbul at the April 2013 meeting of the United Nations Forum on Forests, and at the 2013 Jackson Hole Wildlife Film Festival. The five finalists will also be invited to attend the film premiere at the United Nations Forum on Forests meeting in Istanbul, with travel support included. All semi-finalists and finalists will be contacted after the judging is complete.

  • Visit our Withoutabox page to enter your film
  • Review the contest terms and conditions
