| Dear Students,
As you may know, the theme of this year’s ELC English Festival is “Tending to Your Mind”. We always seem to be so busy with everything - academic achievement, career, wealth, family, friends, and so on. Certainly not everyone can avoid mental health problems—but we can do our best to let those around us be aware of taking care of their emotional health in their lives.
The ELC is thrilled to launch a video contest “Tending to Your Mind”. To showcase your creativity, you are invited to make a 2-3 minute video that is relevant to the overarching theme - mental health. The contest is divided into the following three stages:
1. Submission: candidates will submit their videos on Moodle
(Nov 3 - 30, 2020). Please submit your video here: https://ummoodle.um.edu.mo/mod/assign/view.php?id=1890267
2. Selection: tutors will select the best 10 videos (Dec 1, 2020).
3. Voting: these 10 videos will be posted online for voting, and will be judged by a committee made up of tutors and instructors (Dec 2 - 9, 2020).
Prizes are given in first, second, third, most liked video, most shared video, and most visually stunning video according to voting result and judges’ feedback. Prizes include wireless massager, air purifier, electronic toothbrush, smart watch, and lunch box warmer - all are products that can improve your overall well-being.
All UM students are welcome to participate. Please note that collaborative (pairs/groups) videos are NOT accepted.
We encourage you to reflect on your mental health while making this video. All videos must be submitted on/before November 30 (Monday), much appreciated! We look forward to receiving all the great content.
Best regards,
English Language Centre
