Racism. Stop It! National Video Competition

Every year, to mark the International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination on March 21, numerous activities aiming to raise public awareness on the issue of racism take place across Canada. The Racism. Stop It! National Video Competition is one of the means by which the Government leads the fight against racism and mobilizes thousands of youth across Canada to express their feelings about eliminating racism through video.

If you are between 12 and 20 years old, you are eligible to enter the Racism. Stop It! National Video Competition. Create a video 45 to 60 seconds long about your thoughts on eliminating racism. You can work in a team of up to five people. Your video can feature as many people as you want — include your whole school or members of your community if they have something to say about stopping racism.

Ten videos will be chosen as winners and will be broadcast on national television, reaching millions of Canadians.
