In conjunction with the event, each of the academies is running a short video competition for entrants between the ages of 18 and 27 in all three nations. Each competition will have its own judging process and prizes. Each academy will select its own competition winner to be screened at the Global Grand Challenges Summit in London on March 12-13, 2013. The winning contestants will be invited as guests to the summit.
