‘A Day in the Life of …’: An International Competition
Kazimierz Pulaski University of Technology and Humanities in Radom, Poland is running an international video competition. We would like to invite primary and secondary students (aged 6-18) to create a 3-minute video on the topic: ‘A day in the life of …(nationality)… students’.
The task is to record a short video to show the way of life of typical students in their hometown. Students can choose the whole day, starting from the morning till the evening or a typical school day.
Students upload their videos onto a video-sharing site (YouTube or Vimeo, etc.) and send the links to video.contest@wp.pl
Entry assessment will be done in two stages:
1. In the first stage, 20 best films will be selected by the jury appointed by the Organiser. Composition of the jury in the 1st stage of the competition: Magdalena Dygała, Khurram Shahzad, Ceren TEZEL KELEŞ, Sevinç Aytaş, Tina Elena Ene, María Palma García Hormigo.
2. In the second stage of the competition, the Organizer will appoint a group of experts in the field of teaching, who will select 2 (out of 20 videos) winning video entries. Composition of the jury in the 2nd stage of the competition: Joanna Pawłowska, Kieran Donaghy, Jon Hird, John Hughes, Rob Howard.
At each stage, members of the jury appointed by the Organiser will evaluate the video entries by awarding points at their own discretion: 10 points for topic, 10 points for creativity, 10 points for emotional value, 5 points for technical excellence. Sum: 35 points
