ARISE+ IPR 2022 Intellectual Property Youth Video Clip competition

The ARISE+ IPR 2022 Intellectual Property Youth Video Clip competition aims to promote intellectual property education, shape students’ core values and attitudes and raise public awareness about the benefits of intellectual property (IP) protection and the harm of IP infringements in both Cambodia and the Philippines, with a special focus being put on SMEs.

An independent jury committee of IP experts from the EUIPO (EU Intellectual Property Office), the Department of Intellectual Property (DIP) Cambodia and the Intellectual Property Office of the Philippines (IPOPHL) will assess the submitted video applications and pick one finalist and one winner per country.

The video contest finalists and winners in each category will be promoted through a wide promotional campaign on Facebook and Instagram which will gain high visibility and recognition in Cambodia and Philippines respectively. Additionally, the winner will participate in individual mentorship sessions with an IP expert.

This guide provides you with all the information you will need to produce your video clip and submit your application and have a chance to be among the winners. Read on to find out more about the competition’s categories, eligibility criteria and practical information to guide you through your submission.

Some questions to guide you through your video creation:

“Are you (and young people) aware of how many intellectual property rights (IPRs) surround you (such as industrial designs of electronic devices or cars, trademarks of popular brands, or copyrights of your favourite music)? What role do they play in your work, leisure and social life?”
“How do you value the ownership of your ideas? What does it mean for you to be recognised for an idea or work that you came up with?”
“What harm is caused by IP infringement? Share your views and experiences with us.”
“Why should young people/small businesses care about intellectual property and how will it benefit them?”
“Intellectual property: what are the benefits for SMEs and how can they use IP to grow?”
“What are the benefits of geographical indications, trademarks or industrial designs or copyright?”

Videos including any kind of inappropriate content (e.g., obscenity, nudity, and violence) will be ineligible for consideration.

Given that the video contest winners and finalists will be promoted through a social media campaign, the content of all submitted video clips should be respectful and comply with the community guidelines of different social media platforms (Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, Instagram).

Submitted videos must not have been shortlisted for, or won, any other competitions.

Applicants reserve the right to submit more than one entry as long as each entry concerns a separate video clip.

Any non-compliance with the established rules will result in an application not being eligible.

3. Evaluation criteria

Applications submitted will be evaluated based on the following criteria:

Topic relevance
Videos should deal with general intellectual property issues or concrete intellectual property rights (geographical indications, trademarks or industrial designs). Videos with zero relevance to the intellectual property topic will be automatically disqualified
Information
The videos should include truthful and accurate information in relation with the intellectual property right protection. Untrustful information on intellectual property right protection could cause disqualification of applications.

Video quality
Video specifications mentioned above must be respected. Additionally, language, presentation, structure, argumentation, and clarity of the message and image quality will be taken into consideration.

4. Selection process

All submitted entries will undergo a pre-selection process by the EUIPO’s local partners who will disqualify applications which do not comply with the above-mentioned criteria and will select the best applications received in both the Philippines and Cambodia. The applications selected will then be evaluated by the competition’s jury committee to determine one winner and one finalist for each country. Winners and finalists will be announced in June 2022.
