AMC announces a COVID-19 Awareness Youth Video Contest

Treaty One Territory, Manitoba The Assembly of Manitoba Chiefs (AMC) is issuing a challenge to all First Nations youth ages 18 years-old and younger, to enter a contest about COVID-19 and vaccine awareness as we mark the one-year anniversary of COVID-19 cases in Manitoba.

 

The contest will run for a period of two weeks in which all First Nations youth residing in Manitoba will be provided with a choice of three video ideas that they will use to act out scenarios to teach not only each other about safe COVID-19 practices like hand washing and social distancing, but also general rules about how to safely engage with friends and family who have received the vaccine already.

 

The prizes for this contest will be an assortment of technology products such as tablets, wireless headphones and other tech products to reward their creativity and advocacy for safe COVID-19 practices that can be later used for their studies and schooling.

 

AMC Grand Chief Arlen Dumas stated, “This is a great way for our First Nation youth to not only learn a bit more about safety measures for COVID-19 but also how they can become advocates to keep those who have since received the vaccine safe as well. The Assembly is especially keen to ensure that the prizes are also something that youth can use to enhance their learning options with the latest technology.”

 

Instructions:

 

Select one of the following storyboards to act out (see below);

Record a 1-minute video (maximum time) to highlight best and safest practices for each storyboard;

Post that video to Facebook tagging AMC’s official Facebook page and use the hashtag

#AMCContest2021 between the dates March 12 – March 26th, 2021.

 

SCRIPT 1 Concept/Storyboard:

A child’s grandmother just received her vaccination yesterday. Everyone is very excited and happy that she is safer now. She telephones her grandchild(ren) and asks them to visit her that day for a much-needed hug. They have to explain to her that it is not safe yet but ask that they continue to talk on the phone with her for now.

 

SCRIPT 2 Concept/Storyboard:

Two kids/youths/teens are playing video games and are speaking to each other over their headsets or phone/text each other saying that it would be more fun if they hung out together instead of alone at home. One then reminds the other how important it is to stay home and stay safe not only for themselves but their elders in their community.

 

SCRIPT 3 Concept/Storyboard:

A parent/ caregiver is no longer doing a very good job of hand washing and wearing their masks properly. The child/youth/teen kindly reminds them how important it is to stay safe by properly washing their hands giving them a step-by-step instruction on how to and shows them how to properly wear a mask and how far apart 6 feet is.

 

Following March 26, 2021, the videos submitted will be considered by members of the First Nations Pandemic Response Coordination Team (PRCT) to select the first, second and third place videos.

 

Winners will be announced in April 2021.
