Edition 2024
Climate and environmental upheavals are now realities, and it is more important than ever that the voices of those who suffer their consequences be heard.
The ePOP international competition offers a unique platform to bring these stories to life and help shape a sustainable future.
A call to action
Seize this prestigious opportunity to make a video of up to 3 minutes, highlighting the stories of people impacted by climate change and environmental degradation. Whether you give voice to farmers struggling with devastating droughts, communities threatened by rising sea levels, or indigenous peoples witnessing the disappearance of their ancestral habitats, your video will be a powerful vehicle for raising awareness.
A network of committed designers
By taking part in the ePOP competition, you'll be joining a supportive community of committed videographers and actively helping to break the silence that too often surrounds environmental injustice. Your video can influence public opinion, mobilize political decision-makers and inspire concrete action to protect our planet and its inhabitants. After the competition, videos are archived on epop.network, and made available to everyone. Don't miss this chance to make a difference. Submit your video before September 12, 2024 and take part in this collective adventure that promises a fairer, more sustainable future for all.
This year, among all environmental issues, ePOP encourages achievements dedicated to ocean issues in order to contribute to the mobilization and advocacy of the next United Nations Ocean Conference (UNOC) in 2025. This is an opportunity for dissemination and not the theme of the competition, which remains free. A video dealing with ocean issues will not be favoured over a video dealing with biodiversity, issues related to agriculture, or any other theme related to climate and the environment
