You can also submit abstracts to the World Congress. (Call for abstracts deadline: 30 November 2022).

To participate in the Media Festival you should take into account that the international jury will evaluate the following:

  • if your contribution fits the topic of safety and health
  • the effectiveness of the message
  • if the contribution reaches the target groups
  • how the subject has been treated
  • the overall impression of the production.

There is no limit to the number of entries you may submit or the length of your productions.

Technical criteria:

Films must be uploaded in one of the following formats: ".mp4", ".mov", “.webM” or “.ogv".

For websites and social media available through the public web you will be asked to provide a link.

For apps, web-based training, e-learning tools, games and interactive tools, or any products that are not accessible through the public web, participants are asked to upload a product demonstration video together with their application. If you do not have such a video, you can record it yourself following the recommendations below:

The video should be submitted as a .mov or .mp4 file. The video should be no longer than three minutes and should contain the following information: company or organization identification/logo, type of product (app, web training, etc), purpose of the product, 3-5 key features, and a demonstration of how the product is used. All voice and text explanation should be in English. The video does not have to be a professional production. The purpose of the video is to help jury members understand and evaluate your proposal by providing them with easy access and summary information about how your multimedia product works. The quality of your demo is not being judged.
