WILPF Tribute Video

Submit your photos and videos! Deadline extended to July 1.

In lieu of the traditional Tribute Book, we will be creating a Tribute Video for this year’s Congress!

I AM WILPF

The up-and-coming Brooklyn WILPF Branch is creating a tribute video to honor and celebrate WILPF members. In line with the theme of this year’s Congress, they are asking for video clips and photographs of WILPF women you want to honor and remember, your branch, your issue committees, and YOU – all doing what WILPF members do best – Rise Up, Remember, Reclaim and Reimagine!  Below are a few guidelines, to help you get started:

Submit a video, photos or a mix of both!  Be creative!

  • “I am WILPF”:
    Your own personal message captured in a video or photo:
     “I am WILPF.  I rise up and organize for (your activism passion) in (name of city and/or state)”
  • Branch Shout-Outs: 
    “We are WILPF. We are the (branch name or branch issue committee name) and we rise up and organize for (branch’s key focus of work)”
    And/or send photos/videos showing your WILPF Branch or WILPF Issue Committee at work in marches, events, or keynote speeches!
  • Tributes: 
    Remember all the wonderful women who have passed away and their inspiring legacy of work.
    Honor members who have inspired your activism or have gone above-and-beyond to further WILPF’s mission.
  • Other:
    Any photos or videos you feel represent the essence of WILPF.  Again, these can be marches, events, keynote speeches or WILPF members just having fun!

Cost:
As in the past with Tribute Books, a nominal fee will be charged for material submitted for  “Branch Shout-Outs” and “Tributes” to cover the cost of video production.  The pieces submitted for those categories will be a priority for inclusion in the final produced video.  Material submitted for “I am WILPF” and “Other” will be free of charge, though these items won’t be guaranteed for inclusion.  However, the ultimate goal of the final produced video is to include a wide variety of imagery that will showcase WILPF members, so all imagery received will be carefully reviewed and considered.

 “Branch Shout-Outs” and “Tributes”:

  • $40 for up to 3 photos
  • $40 for 1 video up to 10 seconds long
  • priority for inclusion will be given for these images
    Note: If your video is longer than 10 seconds, it will be charged $40 per every 10 seconds.  However, please keep the length to a minimum, so we can accommodate imagery from others in the final produced video.

“I am WILP” and “Other”:

  • no charge to submit a photo
  • no charge to submit a video up to 10 secs long
  • no guarantee it will be included in the final video

You may submit more than 1 video or more than 3 photos.  Just fill out the submittal form accordingly.

JACBA Book Corner
The Des Moines WILPF Branch will be hosting a Book Corner on Friday and Saturday.  Featured will be a selection of books from the 2017 Jane Addams Children’s Book Awards (JACBA), as well as other award-winning books that engage children with topics focusing on WILPF’s work exemplified by our Issue Committees. You are invited to browse and register to win a book for donation to your community. WILPF branches are also invited to share stories of their successful JACBA book programs, with written recaps and photos of past events.  A small selection of books will also be on sale.  For more information about how your branch can participate, contact Jan Corderman at jancorderman@msn.com or 515-205-4504. The Des Moines Branch is grateful for a grant from the Miami Fund, administered by the Jane Addams Peace Association, which has helped to make this Book Corner possible.
