The proposed theme for the 2017-2018 edition of the Peace Movie Award is
“Peace begins with me.”

Participants will have to develop this theme managing to communicate in a convincing and effective way, with a 30” video, how our individual experiences of peace and our personal actions in daily life are able to influence positively those who are around us; contributing this way to reinforcing a global culture of peace.

1. Each participant must register on the website MYMPA.IT, accept the regulations, and obtain a personal ID.

2. The video being submitted must be uploaded for this competition (instructions will be published on MYMPA.IT)

3. Each competitor loads his/her video, and marks it with his/her own ID. The video status is then ON HOLD

4. The Editorial Staff evaluates each video – if accepted, the video is published

5. The Editorial Staff announces via email the results of Step 4 to all the competitors, whether be it positive, negative or partial (insufficient or incorrect data)

6. The 5 most interesting videos in each category undergo final evaluation by the Board, in order to select the winners

7. The Board choose the winners with simple majority vote
