Entries must consist of short-form video material (animation, film, clip, presentation or other video formats) lasting between one and 10 minutes and addressing multiculturalism and ethnic diversity, the preservation and promotion of interethnic tolerance, or the preservation of the cultural identity of one or more ethnic communities in Vojvodina.

Among other things, topics may be explored through depictions of multilingualism and multilingual interaction in various forms of artistic expression, such as music, theatre and dance; through depictions of multilingualism in different video formats, such as animation, films and short video clips; as video presentations of multicultural artistic expression, for example multilingual plays, performances or short interviews on multilingualism and young people’s attitudes toward multi-ethnicity. Video presentations of specific and authentic ethnographic elements of national communities’ cultures may also be submitted, such as customs, events and folklore, as well as images accompanied by the creator’s commentary in video format.

Applications and accompanying documents must be submitted electronically via the application on the Secretariat for Education’s website by 28 December.
