Vote for your favorite corporate citizenship story
Voting is now under way in Boston College Center for Corporate Citizenship's eighth annual Corporate Citizenship Film Festival!
Each year, the Corporate Citizenship Film Festival provides companies with an opportunity to demonstrate how they have utilized video as a tool to communicate their environmental, social, and governance efforts. Sixty-eight entries were submitted into this year's festival, showcasing how companies are having a positive impact in communities on their corner and around the world.
Community involvement, economic development, and environmental stewardship are just some of the topics which were touched on by the 2016 participants.
Public voting is now open from January 25 through February 15 to select the top three finalists from each size category.
Once the voting period is concluded, the field will be narrowed down to nine finalists, 3 from each category. The nine finalists will then be reviewed by a panel of judges who will choose the 2016 winners. The winners will be announced at the 2016 International Corporate Citizenship Conference, March 20-22, in Atlanta. During the conference, clips from the nine finalist videos will be viewed by the more than 600 conference attendees.
