The Embassy of the Republic of the Philippines in the State of Qatar is pleased to announce the call for submissions to the 2025 Youth for Humanitarian Disarmament Multimedia Contest under the Convention on Cluster Munitions (CCM), with the theme, “A Victim-Centered Approach to Peace, Security, Development, and the Convention on Cluster Munitions.”

The 2025 iteration of the Contest is organized by the Republic of the Philippines, in line with its Presidency of the 13th Meeting of the States Parties (13MSP) to the CCM, and in cooperation with the CCM Implementation Support Unit and the United Nations Office for Disarmament Affairs under its Youth4Disarmament Initiative. 

The Contest reflects the Philippines’ longstanding commitment to strengthening the norms of humanitarian disarmament and focuses on victim assistance and its larger societal impact, which is among the Philippines’ priorities for its 13MSP presidency.
 

The contest is open to all youth aged 18 to 29 years old to submit multimedia artworks (photos, visual arts, or short films/animations) that show how the CCM and humanitarian disarmament contribute to peace, security, and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). 

The deadline for submissions is on 16 June 2025. Further information may be found online here.
