What are the JUDGING criteria?

Please note, the Awards judging panel will be assessing the quality of your
entry and not the quality of your EU-funded project.

Judging criteria is:

‍EU Dimension:
Does the entry demonstrate the value of the EU dimension of the project,and the
opportunities that it being an EU project provided? For example, thevalue and
opportunities could come from partnership with other countries, crossEuropean
exchange and learning, or the possibility to reach a wider audienceand make a
greater impact.
‍
Impact:
Does the entry communicate the difference that the project made to the people,
communities and organizations involved? Entries should focus on impact rather
than project plans or processes. It's not about how you delivered your project,
it's about why, and the difference that it made.

Clarity:
Is it clear what this project is about and what it achieved? Could someone with
no experience of EU funded programmes understand it? Avoid jargon, excessive
text, or superfluous information. It's not about communicating everything about
your project, focus on the important points.

You are encouraged to find interesting or creative ways to tell your EU story!
Try to make your video engaging and visually interesting.
