What is the Stella Video Contest?

The goal is to award students' creativity and originality. Running this competition, the CGU’s aim is to encourage students to work with these two rising values. In addition, working with digital technologies will help them to develop a more complete professional background.
The Compostela Group will award the most original video made by a student or a group of students of one of its member universities.

Who can participate?

The video can be made either by an individual student or by a team. If the video is made by a team, one of the students should be named as its representative.
