Competition for ESO, Baccalaureate and Vocational Training students
The ‘De major vull ser com…’ competition is aimed at students in compulsory secondary education (ESO), Baccalaureate and Vocational Training in the Valencian Community, with the goal of promoting and rewarding videos created by younger generations that highlight female role models in scientific, technological and innovative fields, as well as recognising the impact that discriminatory attitudes have had on the professional development of these women.
The competition consists of eight awards across four different categories, with two subcategories in each. The categories recognise the best script, the best production, the most innovative video in the choice of character, and the best video as voted by the public.
