OSCE Secretariat calls for proposals for 2004 video project

VIENNA, 4 March 2004 - The OSCE Secretariat in Vienna is requesting professional TV production companies to submit proposals for a video film, promoting the work of the Organization.

The OSCE plans to complete a 30-minute promotional film with English narration and background music to mark the 10th Anniversary of the creation of the OSCE. The aim of the film is to promote interest among the general public in order to enhance understanding of the OSCE and generate support for its activities.

We want you to show in words and pictures how the OSCE's activities affect the lives of individuals by spreading and upholding the ideas of comprehensive security, democracy, human rights and fundamental freedoms. You will help to tell the story of 10 years of the OSCE, embracing the diplomatic work taking place in Vienna, as well as the practical work carried out by some of the 18 OSCE field operations and OSCE institutions.

The deadline for submission of bids is Tuesday, 23 March 2004, 12:00 CET.
