INCHES International Film Competition - Deadline : 1 March, 2009

As part of the 10th anniversary celebrations starting on 15 September 2008, the International Network on Children’s Health, Environment and Safety (INCHES), one of HEAL’s member organisations, launched an International Film Competition on Health and Environment, the first in its kind.

INCHES is a network of people and organisations working to create a healthier environment for children. Their competition, called "Focus on Children in a Healthy Environment" centres on the themes "Climate" and "Environmental Health" and will run until 1 March, 2009. Several cash prizes of 2500 euros will be awarded to the winners of both categories. There are also separate cash prizes for films up to 5 minutes of duration and up to 15 minutes.

The competition is open to all nationalities and ages and both amateurs and professionals are encouraged to participate.

Peter van den Hazel, INCHES’ chair of the board, hopes the films will enable his organisation to reach out to more young people and increase public awareness of environmental health issues globally. He also hopes that they will help to stimulate the political and social changes needed to save children from hazardous environmental situations, such as poor water quality and sanitation, air pollution, waste and poverty reduction.
