In partnership with the European Parliament and the European Commission
France 24 is launching a video competition open to high school students, university students, and students enrolled in journalism or audiovisual schools in France and across Europe, with the aim of giving a voice to the younger generation on Europe. Participants are invited to submit an original video lasting between one and four minutes, in English or French, expressing their perspective on contemporary Europe, including its values, challenges, and realities.
Two themes to choose from:
- A cohesive Europe (solidarity between regions)
- Fake news about Europe and the European Parliament
This competition welcomes a wide range of styles, including news reports, documentaries, short films, and interviews, among others. Submissions are open until May 4, 2026.
A jury, composed of prominent European figures, representatives of European institutions in Paris, as well as Caroline de Camaret, Europe Editor-in-Chief of France 24, and Armen Georgian, Europe editor at France 24, will award three prizes in each of the themes, for a total of six:
- The High School Student Prize;
- The University Student Prize, open to students from universities, audiovisual schools, and BTS/IUT programmes;
- and the Expert Prize, dedicated to students enrolled in journalism schools.
The winners will be invited to attend the awards ceremony at Europa Experience in Paris and to spend a day behind the scenes at the France 24 newsroom. A feature will be produced about them, and their winning videos will be broadcast on France 24 as part of the programmes ‘Europe Rendevous’ in English and ‘Aux 4 Coins de l’Europe’ in French.
