Project DECONSTRUCT: Video Contest
The Portuguese team of the DECONSTRUCT project is organising a video competition for students in Portugal in grades 8 to 12.
Videos must be between 1 and 3 minutes in length and submitted via the USC Shoah Foundation’s IWitness platform, within an activity created specifically for this purpose. The activity includes several questions and supporting videos designed to help students understand the concepts of historical distortion and Holocaust distortion.
Teachers may accompany their students and complete the activities together. However, it is also possible simply to disseminate the call, allowing students to explore the activity independently. Submission of the video is mandatory to apply for the competition, but responding to the activity questions is optional.
The videos will be evaluated by an independent jury, composed of secondary and higher education teachers. Only the top three entries will receive prizes and be publicly announced:
1st prize: FNAC gift voucher of €100
2nd prize: FNAC gift voucher of €50
3rd prize: FNAC gift voucher of €25
Student registration deadline: 27 February 2026
