Student short film competition 2024

Introduction

  • The Centre of Excellence in Maritime Simulator Training and Assessment is excited to announce the Student Short Film Competition 2024.
  • This competition encourages maritime students to showcase their creativity in maritime simulations and simulator-based training to their peers and the public. By encouraging students to explore the knowledge of maritime simulator-based training in their learning, COAST aims to ignite enthusiasm among students in maritime education and training.
  • The competition is open to all maritime Bachelor students at HVL, NTNU, UiT and USN. Interested students are required to create short films (maximum 3 minutes) that explain and describe a maritime simulator-based education related concept in a creative, accurate, engaging, and understandable way. There is no limit on the number of students in a project from one institution.
  • Whether you’re demonstrating through acting, dance, or other methods, the key is to utilize your maritime knowledge and creativity to effectively disseminate your message!
