Remember that this competition should take place, as far as possible, in three languages, namely English, French and Arabic. We learn from the members of the jury, members of the U-3ARC Executive Board as well as the U-3ARC Trainers Committee, that the candidates were decided according to a certain number of criteria combining the content of the video lasting between 9 and 15 minutes, the sound and the quality of the image... No compromise was made on the evaluation criteria taking into account a correct and clear explanation, the procedure, the harmony between the three participants, respecting the length of the video and the use of several languages in the same video, an additional advantage, we were told.
In addition to an envelope of €1,500, given to the winning team, in Tunisia, during the U-3ARC General Assembly, in November 2024, the winners will receive a Certificate of Appreciation. Also, the 03 winners of the recipient team will be fully supported (return plane tickets to Tunis, accommodation and catering during the stay).
