Dosta! Campaign video competition We would like to draw your attention on a Council of Europe/European Commission video competition open to your country. The video competition is part of the awareness raising campaign on Roma "Dosta!: There is nothing scary about Roma except your prejudices". Dosta! campaign aims to break down deep-rooted prejudices and stereotypes, which are unfortunately still present among the majority population throughout the European continent, by promoting a positive image of Roma. The video-competition addresses artists, art academies/schools, NGOs and video amateurs. We invite them to produce a short video (maximum 20 minutes) promoting the basic campaign messages: - Roma have rights and aspirations like everybody else. They are citizens of the countries they live in and they have to be recognized as such, in the full respect of their citizenship and human rights. - Roma culture is part of Europe's cultural heritage and it has contributed to the enrichment of European societies. It is now time to recognize this contribution. The videos can be mute or filmed in any language of the countries directly involved in Dosta! campaign (Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, Serbia and "the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia") and/or Romani, but should be subtitled in English. The videos can be existing productions and can be submitted by citizens or entities based in any Council of Europe member state; however, they must reflect the reality of the countries involved in the campaign. Selected productions will be posted on the Dosta! website, www.dosta.org. A jury will choose the best videos and a prize giving ceremony will be organized by the Council of Europe in Strasbourg, during the week of Romani movies. The jury will be composed of artists, broadcasters, Council of Europe representatives and representatives of Roma associations. First prize 2000 Euros, second prize 1000 euros, third prize 500 euros. Deadline for submitting the videos: 30 September 2006 The winning productions will be distributed free of charge to the participating TV stations and used by the Council of Europe and its partners.
