For the competition, PMC requires students to create a short video timed at 60 seconds or less that explores how a growing human population may cause problems for humanity and our planet. Winners of the said contest will consequently receive scholarship money to cover tuition costs as they complete their undergraduate studies.

In total, PMC will award four scholarships worth $2,000 each and twelve scholarships worth $1,000 each. **Contest submission timeline: March 15, 2021 until July 15, 2021** ![](https://i0.wp.com/scholarshipsforafricans.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/One-World-Many-People.jpg?resize=1024%2C683&ssl=1)Population Media Center raises awareness and action on reproductive health, girls’ education, and environmental sustainability. **\| Photo by [Markus Spiske](https://www.pexels.com/@markusspiske?utm_content=attributionCopyText&utm_medium=referral&utm_source=pexels) from [Pexels](https://www.pexels.com/photo/climate-sign-outside-blur-2990644/?utm_content=attributionCopyText&utm_medium=referral&utm_source=pexels)** ## **What is Population Media Center?** PMC is a nonprofit working to help build a sustainable planet with equal rights for all by creating hit entertainment that changes lives.

Furthermore, video submissions should include a brief title screen that contains the contest title “One Planet, Many People”.
