STUDENTS SPEAK OUT AGAINST ANTI-SEMITISM.
A CREATIVE VIDEO PRODUCTION CONTEST.
The “Students Speak Out Against Anti-Semitism. A Creative Video Production Contest” is an education and awareness initiative sponsored by B’nai B’rith International and the Combat Anti-Semitism Movement (“CAM”) in 2021.
This unique public awareness campaign was created to strengthen the fight against anti-Semitism, hatred and discrimination. The contest challenged high school and undergraduate university students around the world to create two- to three-minute videos to boost education about anti-Semitism and the prejudice, bigotry, hatred and violence it engenders. |

The three winners are:
- Porter Christensen of Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah for “Universal Acceptance.”
- Diego Israel Rivera Berumen of Colegio Libre de Estudio Superiores (CLEU) in Guadalajara, Mexico for “Peace Will Thrive.”
- Madeleine Stern of Broadneck High School in Annapolis, Maryland for her video, “Anti-Semitism is Everywhere: Stop Hate.”
High school and undergraduate university students worldwide were invited to submit their work to the contest and were judged in separate academic group categories.
Participants made submissions in either of two categories:
- Educate the general public on the value of a universally adopted definition of anti-Semitism and articulate why all public and private enterprises, such as universities, countries, and international organizations, should adopt the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) definition.
- Educate about anti-Semitism that impacts Jews of all racial backgrounds and inspire young people to be more tolerant toward others by illustrating the modern manifestations of anti-Zionism as anti-Semitism. Entrants should draw examples from the IHRA definition.
