Study Abroad Video Contest

Every year Concordia International hosts its annual Study Abroad Video Contest! Show the Concordia community what it’s like to study abroad, the connections you have made and your reflections on your host country, culture, and community. The video contest is open to all Concordia students embarking on or currently on exchange abroad.

Contest rules

All video submissions must include

  • Student's name
  • Student's program
  • Name of the host institution
  • Location (city, country) of the host institution

Video requirements

  • Include an image of the host institution
  • Include some details about your experience as an exchange student
  • Have a maximum run-time of 3 minutes.

Students who submit a video do not need to submit an exchange report to their International Liaison Officer (another great reason to get filming!).

Videos containing nudity, alcohol or drug use, sexual content, obscenities, or any other offensive content will not be accepted.
One submission per student, please.
