“US-China Perception Monitor” Video Essay Competition

Introduction

The Carter Center’s China Program is launching a video essay contest on the perceptions held by the U.S. and China of each other. You are invited to submit a 1-3 minute video to present your perspective on the Chinese or American perception of the other nation, or highlight the intricacies and interdependence of the relations between China and the U.S. As long as you are currently a student at a college or university, you are eligible to participate.

President Obama and President Xi recently met in Beijing and both have once again declared that the relationship between China and the US is the most important bilateral relationship in the world. However, at the same time, there are special interests groups and ideologues in both nations who want to derail this relationship. The differences between China and the U.S. in political systems, ideologies and histories have also made it difficult for the two peoples to synchronize their dreams and for government officials to coordinate policies that will benefit both nations and the world. Our goal is to utilize this video essay contest to have young people describe, examine and evaluate this relationship.

Your work may include street interviews, Q&A with scholars or officials, an edited collage of traditional and new media, historical re-enactment, analysis of new realities, or any selection and analysis of U.S.-China dialogues or events.
