We bring you the 5 winning videos for the UN contest where participants sent in a video stating what they would tell world leaders if they had the chance.    The 5 video bloggers had the opportunity to give their message in person at the UN Day celebration in New York City.

In a previous post we announced the UN Citizen Ambassador contest where video bloggers had to record what they would say to World Leaders if they had the chance, to effectively win the opportunity to speak directly with Secretary-General Ban Ki Moon at the UN Day on October 23rd.
