Description

“It is time to fill the world with strong and powerful deeds. It is important we cultivate love and compassion to all the sentient beings, which is the way to bring peace to all.”
HH Dalai Lama

Being one the most inspiring persons world-wide, and also one of the people who C:F Community expressed huge interest to meet, HH Dalai Lama is here to hear your voice! It is our great honor and pleasure to announce the new Quick Challenge, partnering with Out of the Boxconference and Research and Arts Zone at University of Maribor!

C:F challenges you to imagine one ordinary day: walking to school, or entering the shop near your house, or waiting in line at the bookstore! And all of a sudden, you see His Holiness Dalai Lama standing next to you! You are excited, confused, blocked, or just happy!? You have less than 2 minutes to say what he inspired you to do!

This is that day!

Shoot a 118-sec-video with your message to HH Dalai Lama and tell him what he inspired you to do. The best video message will be presented to HH Dalai Lama and 800 conference participants at the special session of the prominent conference Out of The Box + the winner will have the possibility to attend the conference for FREE!

Your Task

  • Start your video with who you are, from where you are and then what is your message to Dalai Lama
  • Keep in mind the number 118-sec when you record your message (or what is so called elevator speech). All longer videos will be excluded.
  • Stick to the topic of the competition!
  • Use your mobile, camera, any other recording device, but try to have good sound quality, so that you could be heard well
  • The quality of the video is not important, what is important is your message
  • Avoid offensive or negative statements! Your message should inspire others and give the positive approach of youth worldwide!

Prizes

TOP 10 finalist videos will be given to HH Dalai Lama on CD, together with special declaration from Challenge:Future that will include one message from each finalist.

The first winning solution chosen by expert judges will be presented on May 16th 2012 in front of HH Dalai Lama, esteemed speakers and 800 conference participants at the special session of prominent conference Out of The Box with many world thinkers who shall dedicate four days to discuss innovative ways to improve culture of living.  The winner will be invited to take part in the conference for FREE!
