What do I need to consider when I create my video?

Your video

• must be in English

Save the date: keep the 12 & 13 November free in your diary … just in case you win!

What rights do I grant the organisers?

By submitting a video, you understand and agree that the organising institutions shall have the right to publish, broadcast, distribute and use in perpetuity and without limitation the video file or parts thereof you submit. You agree that your name and video can be used for news, publicity, information, advertising, and promotional purposes by the organising institutions without any further compensation, notice, review, or consent. You agree to provide the video file to the organising committee if asked, for example to be re-used in a “best of” or summary version regarding the contest.

What else do I need to know?

We know, it’s tedious, but make sure you read the fine print here. It explains the terms and conditions you need to be familiar with (see “Terms & Conditions”).

Selection Criteria

The following criteria will be applied when judging the video submissions:

• Inspiration (does your vision inspire others at your university, including your peers? Is it a call to action?)
• Originality (does your video have a unique and original message?)
• Creativity (is your video creative in design, form, and content?)
• Relevant (does your video address the topic of the contest?)
• Compliance with the rules (does your video comply with the requirements: lenght, language, upload, copyright, etc.)

 Jury

The winners will be chosen by a jury consisting of staff from the organising partner institutions. The decisions of the judging panel are binding and final. Detailed scores will not be disclosed to participants.

 How many videos will win?

Up to three (3) submitted videos will be selected as finalists by the jury. The finalists will be invited to attend the 5th RME Research Conference and will be recognised at a conference event (if they are not able to attend, every effort will be made to include them via web-conferencing). A number of runners-up will also be selected. The number of runners-up depends on the overall number of submissions.

How will winners be contacted?

The winners will be contacted by the organising committee in the second half of October at the email address submitted via the submission form. Should we not receive a reply from one of the winners within a three (3) days, the prize will be awarded to the submission next on the ranked shortlist.
