UNIDO’s 50th Anniversary Time Capsule Competition is open to creative young people around the world (born between 1991 and 1998), who are interested in addressing the issue of sustainability for a more inclusive future.

The competition is organized by UNIDO, the UN specialized agency that promotes industrial development for poverty reduction, inclusive globalization and environmental sustainability, together with AIESEC, the global platform for young people to explore and develop their leadership potential.

Contestants  are required to submit a video message about their hopes, dreams and concerns with inclusive and sustainable industrial development.

The video, no longer than 60 seconds (related to the questions listed below), should be accompanied by a statement of up to 300 words outlining the ideas addressed in the video. All videos will be stored in a time capsule, which will be kept at the United Nations Headquarters in Vienna and be re-opened in November 2030.

These are the questions that need to be addressed in the 60-second video message:

(1)  How do you see the world in 2030 in the context of inclusive and sustainable industrial development  and Sustainable Development Goal 9 (SDG9)?
(2)  What are the main challenges we face today?
(3)  How can we best address these problems?
