Timeline Announcement of Nomination & Guideline – December 2023 Close of Competition – 31 May 2024 Description Food science and technology is a critical part of ensuring the health and wellbeing of people around the world and is essential to resolving food safety and sustainability challenges now and in the future. How that happens is unique to each country – even right down to communities within each country. The IUFoST Food Science and Technology Video Competition is your chance to tell the story of the positive impact of food science in your region, country and/or community. This competition is part of the IUFoST World Congress of Food Science and Technology (World Food Congress) taking place in Rimini, Italy. Who can enter? Any student over 18. Note that more than one person can work on the video(s) and/or groups can enter, but only one prize will be awarded per video. Your video(s) will be judged by a global panel of Food Science & Technology (FS&T) experts, so make sure that they focus on: Content – your video should emphasize the central role of FS&T in improving food-related issues in your area, such as, but not limited to, increasing longevity, sustainability and alleviating hunger through better food choices or production; enhancing nutrition; cutting down on food waste and food losses; providing education to those who do not know the importance of the discipline to their general health and wellbeing; FS&T along the food chain; and the impact of emerging technology Production value – high resolution images and sound are important to getting your message across, so make sure that your content is not undermined by poor production elements Creativity - Your video could be a panorama of FS&T in action, a vignette, animation, a rap, original movie, poetry, or music. It can be black and white or colour. Have fun with it and let your imagination soar.
