PLURAL+ is a UNAOC youth video festival about migration, diversity and social inclusion. The official 2026 rules allow entrants aged 25 or younger when producing their video, across categories 12 and under, 13–17 and 18–25. This includes age 25. Videos must reflect the entrant’s own perspective and be 1–5 minutes including credits, in English or with English subtitles, and produced after January 1, 2023.
Historical 2026 call, checked November 4, 2026: The rules explicitly extend June 30 to July 7, 2026 at 5:00 p.m. EDT/New York time. Entrants submitted an online form with an accessible streaming or file-hosting link. UNAOC's October 9 post-event report confirms the awards ceremony was held October 9, 2026 at Guild Hall in East Hampton, New York, as part of the Hamptons International Film Festival. This supersedes the original call's approximate late-2026 ceremony plan. No future opening, deadline or cycle rules were announced; a recurring June 30 cutoff must not be assumed.
Ceremony funding depended on recognition type. The published 2026 rules covered travel and accommodation for one representative per video receiving an International Jury Distinction or Special Recognition, plus one parent/legal guardian if the representative was under 18. The rules left other team members and Partner Recognition recipients responsible for their own attendance costs. The confirmed East Hampton venue belongs to the historical 2026 ceremony and does not establish a future location.
Direct access to the festival site returned 403, so these details were verified from official indexed rules and the UNAOC newsletter’s original 2026 call. The earlier free-entry assertion was not explicitly reverified and future fees remain unknown.
