As part of its 50th Anniversary Celebrations, OECD (Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development) has launched a competition for young people around the world to showcase their talent by creating a short video describing their vision of "Progress."

If you are - or know anyone - aged between 18 and 25 years old, and are a film-maker, complete the following phrase..."Progress is," in a video no longer than 3 minutes in length, then post it on YouTube.

Three winners will be chosen by public vote from a short-list selected by our jury, after the competition closing date, 1 March 2011. The winners will then be invited for an all-expenses-paid visit to the OECD Forum in Paris, France, taking place May 2011, for an official screening of their videos.
