Media Trust, in partnership with Jack Petchey Foundation, the Evening Standard and YouTube are delivering the Vlogstar Challenge Competition 2020 virtually, supporting more young people to share their vlogs and voices.

From the session you will:

Understand the codes and conventions of vlogs
Learn filming fundamentals for smart phones
Learn edit basics on your smart phone

The workshop will begin by engaging with a wide variety of different vlog types, identifying effective ways to tell a story and engage your audience. This will be followed by filming fundamentals, edit basics and a series of challenges.

The chance to win the Vlogstar Challenge!

After taking part in the workshop, young people can enter their vlog for the Vlogstar Challenge competition. This year’s competition deadline is 31 July. The winner will receive £500 of production equipment, £2,000 towards a non-profit organisation of their choice, mentoring from a YouTube professional and work experience with one of Media Trust’s corporate partners.
