In December 2009, PSCORE sponsored the YouTube Video Contest: a competition which encouraged South Korean university students to submit short videos about human rights abuses in North Korea and the need for democritization in the Korean peninsula. By wisely utilizing the internet, and particularly interactive-media sites such as YouTube, PSCORE hoped to educate internet users about the current human rights situation in North Korea, increase the participation of internet users on the PSCORE website, and effectively and inexpensively produce various videos that would illuminate the situation of North Koreans.
PSCORE received a large volume of talented submissions and announced the winners in January 2009.
Check out a few of the winning submissions!
