The website The Global Youth Video Competition (UNFCCC) gives more details:
Lights, Camera, Marrakech—Win Your Way to COP22
If you are between the ages of 18 and 30 we want to hear about your inspiring actions. Think about a project or campaign you are involved in to combat climate change, an action which convinced your parents, school or college to take climate action, a lobbying of your elected members of parliament or your city leaders. Whatever is making a difference, turn it into a snappy concise 3 minute video and join the competition.
Some key questions to answer are:
• Why did you choose to engage in this climate action?
• What were some of the key things that took place?
• What were some of the successes?
• Where did these successes occur (locally, nationally or internationally)?
• How can youth from similar countries replicate the activities that have been implemented?
The Prizes
Each winner will receive:
• Round trip to COP22/CMP12 in Marrakech, Morocco from 07 November to 18 November 2016 (inclusive of accommodation and other expenses); and
• Position as a youth reporter for COP22/CMP12, responsible for assisting UNFCCC Newsroom team with videos, articles and social media posts.

seeking youth between 18 and 30 who are working on community or social action
