- We’re asking parents and guardians to help kids aged 2 - 15 years old film a 60 second video about where they live.
- You’ll need to agree to, and complete the ABC’s:
- if your video features the inside or outside of your place/house; and
- for that can be seen and/or heard as part of the video. There are separate forms which need to be filled out for kids and adults. We won’t be able to show your video unless everyone who appears in the video has a release form signed!
- These forms can be found at the links at the bottom of this page.
- Once the video has been filmed and the release form(s) are signed, a parent or guardian will need to submit the video and form(s) via the link below.
- We’re looking to see footage of kids exploring the unique beauty of their home and surroundings! We'd love to see what makes your place special from a park, your favourite beach or watching the cars go by in a city!Â
- Just show and tell us what you love most about where you live!
- Every child is welcome to share their story, no matter their way of communication. A parent/caregiver, family member, or friend can help express or verbalise the child's message if necessary.
- Please do a short introduction video where we see the child and their parent / guardian together. The parent / guardian should introduce themselves saying their own full name, the child's first name, the child's age and where they are from.
- Choose the location to film which clearly displays the child’s place / home, without revealing the street or house number.
- In the 60 second video, share the city/town and the state the child lives in and have them take us on a quick tour! Why do they like it?
- For privacy and protection, make sure children only say their first name. When referring to their home location, names should be kept broad. Stick to city, region or state instead of street names, numbers or suburbs.
- All background noise should be moderately quiet so the children can be heard clearly.
- Please make sure all videos are filmed horizontally, not in portrait mode. See the reference image below.Â
- All clothing and locations must be free from branding and logos for example, no Disney, Adidas, Nike logos or business names or school uniforms etc.Â
- By uploading your video(s):
- You confirm that each adult and the parent or guardian of each child appearing in the video has consented to you submitting this entry, and that you have, where appropriate, sought the consent of the parent or guardian of any person under the age of 18 featured in your video; and
- You agree to the ABC Terms of Use. To learn more about how your personal information will be handed, please see the ABC Privacy Collection Statement and  ABC Crowdsourcing Collection Statement.
- When submitting, please rename all files to the parent or guardian’s email address, followed by the child’s state and video number. For example, “bigted@playschool.com_NSW_video 1”.
