Canadians Down Under Video Contest!

In partnership with the Possible Worlds Film Festival and International Experience Canada – Travel and Work Abroad, Canada Down Under broadened our reach and engagement with Canadian youth in Australia with our first ever video contest.

Spanning three months, the campaign kicked off with call out asking for video submissions from Canadians travelling in Australia.

With great prizes on offer, including movie tickets, free stays, travel vouchers, Australian Ice Hockey League passes and concert tickets, dozens of Canadians submitted their diverse videos and ‘360 selfies’ of their time working and playing in Australia.

The consulate media team, director Larin Sullivan and editor Aimee Kubo, then gathered the very best bits and created an action packed two-minute trailer.

The final clip played before all the films at the Possible Worlds US & Canadian Film Festival in Sydney, Canberra and Perth, and online on the Bienvenue! Canada Down Under YouTube Channel. 

Did you know, last year nearly seven thousand Canadians travel to Australia on a working holiday visa?
