Video Submission Guidelines 

You are encouraged to submit a video that captures your organisation and describes why it should be funded. The video is an opportunity to showcase your passion and to pitch your story in a succinct format. We want you to share your vision with our community panel in a way that is different from the written proposal format. This DOES NOT need to be a professionally produced video; video filmed on a smartphone is acceptable and encouraged.

Your video must adhere to the following:

• A length of no more than 2 minutes. Please note, videos over 2 minutes may make your application incomplete. Do get in touch with the team if you foresee an issue with this. 
• Your pitch must be in English, or if another language, subtitled in English.
• Your video should not contain any images of identifiable children (under age 18) without written parental consent.

Here are general suggestions for delivering a high-quality video pitch:

• Introduce yourself and your organisation and/or team.
• Describe the project that you are proposing.
• Explain how your project fits Camden Missions.
• Describe how you would plan for your project to be a success.
