THANK YOU ALL for submitting videos and/or comments to this video contest.

The deadline has expired on 10th October 2009.

The winners will be announced on the United Nations Channel within the next few days.

It will certainly be a very difficult decision for the committee to select (from the combined list of entries in the 4 promotional videos) the best 5 video entries.

Good luck to all.

I would say give back Palestine to the Palestinians and shame on you for what you done to my people, you should not give away things that do not belong to you

Show me the winners!

I believe I missed the deadline for this one. A world of peace????Wow! It seems like an unobtainable/unrealistic goal. We need a miracle for sure! Honestly, I have been so busy just trying to survive myself that I haven't had time to think about these other world issues. It doesn't mean I don't care or don't want to be involved. I am just not sure how I (just me) could make such an impact on the world.

Celebrities have no business as speakers on the behalf of the U.N, because the U.N itself is inadequate and inefficient, egregiously sanctioning countries who do NOT comply to thier objects......LIQUIDATE THE U.N!!!

IF YOU BRING SOLAR AND NUCLEAR TO FRUITION, DISSOLVE ALL OIL MONOPOLIES, END THE FED, END THE WORLD BANK AND ALL WARS.

IT WOULD NOT CHANGE THE HEARTS OF THOSE IN POWER AND THE CHILDREN WILL STILL DIE OF HUNGER. WHY? WORDS DO SHIT- WE DO NEED DEEDS. GOERGE GET MARRIED AND HAVE KIDS IF YOU CAN! IF YOU ARE GOOD THAN BE IT IN PRIVATE AND DO NOT SHOW IT IN PUBLIC! IL AMERICANO WAS A BAD MOVIE - WASTE OF RESOURCES. FEED THY NEIGHBOURS!

anything for some good publicity

A no brainer response for a no brainer question. Decent shelter and good nutrition for the growing kids. If we still believe that children are the world's hope then let us, by all means, invest in them. While we cannot shelter the children from this world's atrocities, we can make use of the reality in creating an aware and vigilant generation out them, thus making them a significant part in solving global issues.
