Graduate student video competition

Current graduate students (MSc or PhD candidates) in agriculture are invited to take part in a 3-minute video competition taking place in conjunction with the Sustainability of Canadian Agriculture Conference, March 3-5, 2026.

2026 Contest

Show and tell your story! Pitch your research project in a pre-recorded video, telling us about your research and how it can potentially benefit farmers and the sustainability of Canadian agriculture in three minutes!

Video entries will be showcased on the conference website and select entries will be chosen for special showing/Q & A during the conference. Those students whose video will be featured during the conference are required to take part in a live Q & A session following the showings.

Research results can be included but are not required.

Be creative! Cash prizes will be awarded to the videos selected by our judges plus conference attendees will select the winning video for a People’s Choice award!
