This United Nations Association's "The World I Want" video contest will allow students to illustrate their ideas of how the world should be and incorporate U.N. values, such as the importance of humanitarian aid, equal rights and global peace that demonstrate how the U.N. as a whole or through one of its programs provides inspiration to the people of the world today.

Six winners will be selected: a first-, second- and third-place for high school students and a first-, second- and third-place for middle school students.

Each first-place winner will receive the grand prize of a private tour of the United Nations headquarters in New York City and receive the award at a benefit dinner in December.
