The 3rd edition of the International “Water and Film” Events will take place in Marseille during the 6th World Water Forum. At this occasion, the International Secretariat for Water invites all movie directors, producers, water stakeholders, youths… and all citizens who wish to express their views on water issues to participate in this competition.

Women for Water Partnership endorses this festival and calls upon women all over the globe to enter the competition. Take this opportunity to show the world that women are in fact, agents of change.

The leitmotif of this 6th Forum is “The Time for Solutions”. What better than images to show all the wonderful solutions that do exist, the local and regional solidarity actions led throughout the world, the simple idea of a man, woman or child that made all the difference or even a funny story that portrays that water is an essential issue for all human beings and its environment?

The competition is open to all and there are no admission fees. Deadline for registration is November 30th 2011. An International Jury will give out 16 awards (27 600 $US in prizes) during a special ceremony at the 6th World Water Forum. An online public vote for the VidéEau category will also be opened on Dailymotion a few weeks before the Forum.

Please check out the RIEC website for further information on the categories in competition, the rules, the awards and previous editions winners.
