Of course, there is an important emphasis on success in all the stories of us Rotarians, but the main thing is that all our stories contain goodness.
As Rotary's Public Image Teams worldwide, one of our most important goals is to collect these stories of goodness experienced and created and to share them in the best inspiring way to the society we live in, using the most effective publishing methods.
From this point on, under the leadership of our 20-23 Rotary Public Image Coordinator Nijad, we, as the Zone 21B PI team, started organizing a video competition with the brand "Power of Goodness" exactly four years ago. For the second year, the Zone 21A PI team decided to be a part of this competition under the leadership of 21-24 Rotary Public Image Coordinator Mykola, and since then, the Power of Goodness Video Competition has been open to the participation of all clubs in Zone 21.
In today's world, the most effective method of collecting and sharing our stories is to take advantage of social media opportunities. The website we established for the Power of Goodness Video Competition and the fact that the videos participating in the contest are uploaded to social media platforms such as YouTube and Vimeo have made this event more than just a contest, but also an archive of kindness stories. When we look at the past four years, the fact that more than 200 goodness story videos of our clubs in Zone 21 and participating in the competition are stored on our website is a success story in itself.
This competition offers significant opportunities to our clubs participating in the competition with its jury structure. As it is known, the pre-selection jury of the competition includes the PI coordinators of both sections of Zone 21, as well as assistant coordinators. The Grand Jury includes many important Rotary leaders such as PRIP, RIPE, RIPN, RID, PRID, RIDE and RI CEO.
Of course, it is extremely important to get a place in a competition with such important jury members, but as you will appreciate, it is also an extremely proud feeling. However, in my opinion, what is more important is that the clubs participating in the competition share their projects with the Rotary leaders, who are jury members, through the videos they prepared, and also announce them to the world through social media.
This year, where we will experience the magic of Rotary, we will organize the 5th Power of Goodness Video Competition. As Zone 21A & 21B PI teams, we are now much more experienced and more knowledgeable about what our road map will be.
Our only expectation from all clubs in Zone 21 is to visit https://zone21videocompetition.com and participate in the competition with videos that meet the criteria, and share the stories of goodness they create with the world.
We invite all our clubs to this unique competition with their videos.
