OneWorld / Staying Alive World AIDS Day 2004 Competition

For a second year in a row, MTV and OneWorld are organising a global
competition in the run up to World AIDS Day, 1 December 2004. This
year's competition is supported by SONY (www.sony.com) who have
provided some great prizes for the winner and runner up in each
category. Two best audio entries will receive minidisk walkmans while
two best video entries will be awarded with a DVD Camcorder each.

The competition is for young people between 15 and 34 years of age to
submit audio or video public service announcements (PSAs) that convey
the messages of MTV's award winning HIV/AIDS awareness campaign,
Staying Alive (http://www.staying-alive.org) with this year's theme
focussing on women, girls and HIV/AIDS.

MTV and OneWorld share a commitment to the global fight against
HIV/AIDS and this unique collaboration aims to reach an audience at a
global and local level.

Winning PSAs in two categories (one audio and one video) will be
streamed on the Staying Alive site, made available to all 26 local
MTV web sites and will be featured on the OneWorld Radio and TV
websites as well as the UNAIDS World AIDS Day campaign site. The
winners will also receive the Staying Alive 2004 Award, an honour
given to an individual each year who makes an important contribution
for HIV/AIDS awareness.
