Debate to Educate is asking youth across the globe to answer one simple question- “If I could tell the world one thing, and everyone would have to believe me, what would I say?” To answer this question, we ask participants to explore their meaningful, honest and personal thoughts that they wish the world could understand. If you are looking for a chance to be heard, this is it. Entries will be selected from our submissions and made into a feature-length movie, to be screened to a live audience in a San Francisco theater! (estimated screening date in December or January). The film will also be made available for viewing on our Youtube channel and website. The top 3 submissions will receive special honor, acclaim, and spotlight features in our screening.

Competition Process

All contestants must be under the age of 18. All submissions must be in English. Submissions must be made in video form, with the speaker clearly visible and audible. Only one speaker per video, please. Video submissions must be 3 to 8 minutes in length. Instructions on how to submit your video will be emailed upon reception of this registration form. Video submissions must be sent before November 1st, 2024.

Judging Criteria

We want you to speak openly and from the heart about anything you truly feel passionate about! There is no rubric- we just want to give you a platform to discuss what matters most to you. Three speakers will receive special mention due to their speeches being especially well-crafted/impactful, though the selection will be subjective. The majority of submissions, if understandable, will automatically be included in the film. Only hate speeches will be disqualified.
