We ask all Copts to shoot a 1–2-minute video telling us about their favorite Coptic Orthodox Icon and Why.  In the video the participants will describe:

1. What is your name and age? Where do you live? What church do you attend?

2. What is your favorite Coptic icon and why?

3. (The icon must be a Coptic “style” icon, created in the Coptic tradition.)

4. Do you know the name of the iconographer?

5. Please describe the icon, who is depicted in the icon, and any symbolic/deeper meanings you recognize (for example, eyes, colors, stars, etc.).

6. Where is the icon traditionally placed in the Coptic Orthodox Church and why?

7. Also, you must show the icon in the video, whether the physical Icon or a photo of it.

Videos may be submitted from any country, and everyone will have an equal chance to win. Only one video per person, per category, will be accepted. If it is a group submission, everyone in the group must be in the same age category.

Please submit videos to: mycopticicon@gmail.com
