Call for 3-minute videos: What is Restorative Justice?

“What is restorative justice?” This is an important question that can be difficult to answer. If we want restorative justice to take root in the criminal justice system and beyond, it is essential that we find creative and concise ways to communicate restorative justice to the public. In recognition of this need and in honor of International Restorative Justice week, the National Center on Restorative Justice (NCORJ) invites you to submit a 3-minute video that answers the question “What is restorative justice?”

Feel free to take a creative approach and integrate art, poetry, symbolism, metaphors, or anything that sparks your imagination that you think would help to achieve a broader understanding of the philosophy and practice of restorative justice. The sky is the limit (with a hard stop at 3-minutes)!

Don’t feel that your video needs to be a final, polished product. This invitation is open to anyone with any level of technological proficiency and prior videography experience. Your submission can be as simple as three minutes of dialogue recorded on a cell phone camera.

Submissions are due on November 16, 2022. Find out more: https://www.vermontlaw.edu/NCORJvideo
