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

What need to be done to get the world a better place and safer? Dismounting the Big Pharma monopoly and stop war, stop supporting US militar to force a false democracy to get all countries under control of UN.

Thank a lot. But could you translate please? A global citizen must send a global message. Every body wants to know your message but only a few knew it.

Ronaldo is the best for this World.

West Papua Indigenous support you.

It is the same message George Clooney gave in English but in Brazilian Portuguese.

Portuguese is spoken as a first language by over 210 million people. It is the 6th most spoken language on the planet. It is used in Brazil, Portugal, Angola, Mozambique, Guine-Bissau, Sao Tome & Principe, Cabo Verde, East TImor and in parts of India and China.

Ronaldo, thank you for this great message. I would tell the world leaders to act for a better planet without poverty, with less pollution, with access to education for all, access to water and sanitation, to basic health services and to try to have the wonderful and unique smile that you have, because an honest and tender smile is also part of happiness in the world

Can anybody translate please? It's not really a ''global'' message when it's in Portuguese.. There's only a few countries that speak it.
