Win a Trip to an ISLAND - World Environment Day


Video-bloggers of the world: raise your voice and win a trip to an island!

Put your creativity and video skills to work in defense of the small islands. Capture in an engaging, visually creative, two-minute video what World Environment Day 2014 is all about and get a chance to win a trip to a stunning island to cover a UN event!


The World Environment Day 2014 theme is about Small Islands Development States (SIDS). Raise your voice, not the sea level. WED 2014 will shine the spotlight on Small Islands and their unique development challenges and successes. Climate change is foremost among these challenges.
We are looking for original and engaging ways of delivering this message through a video - a short and creative movie of no more than 2 minutes that can be made with your mobile phone or home camera and in your own language.  You don´t need to be a professional movie maker or to write a film script, but you have to try to find the most interesting and universally appealing way of telling the WED message to the world!
The exciting news is that the best video will be chosen by Hollywood Star and UNEP Goodwill Ambassador Don Cheadle, and the winner will travel to one of the world’s paradise islands to video blog for a major UN event. 

Application deadline April 4th

LAS VEGAS USA - SFL at FreedomFest 2014

FREEDOM FEST 2014

9-12 July, Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino in Las Vegas, NV
We are excited to announce that we will once again be offering student scholarships to attend FreedomFest this year! This will be our fifth year of bringing the best and brightest of the student movement to this mecca of liberty. FreedomFest is an annual festival where “free minds meet” to celebrate great books, great ideas, and great thinkers in an open-minded society. 
With speakers such as John Allison, Steve Forbes, Art Laffer & Doug Casey the conference is packed with leaders of liberty speaking to inspire and educate attendees. The theme for FreedomFest this year will be “Is Big Brother Here?”.
The purpose of this scholarship is to provide students with an opportunity to develop your leadership skills, network with activists in the liberty movement, and provide training and experience in running events for liberty. Recipients who are awarded a scholarship will have their registration to FreedomFest and housing covered by SFL. However travel costs will still be the responsibility of the individual.
Application deadline 9 May 2014
