Saliva in 60 Seconds. Instagram Reel Contest

Organized within the framework of the EdU_Saliva Erasmus+ Project, the event aims to promote accurate, accessible, and creative scientific communication regarding the potential of saliva as an analytical biofluid. This initiative challenges individuals or teams of up to four participants to create an original, vertical, English-language video of up to 60 seconds that creatively and accurately communicates the scientific, educational, or practical relevance of saliva as an analytical sample. To participate, contestants must publish their Reel from a public Instagram account, tag the official EdU_Saliva account, and include the hashtag #EdUSalivaContest. The contest aims to boost awareness of saliva science through accessible, short-form video communication, rewarding winners with a People’s Choice Award based on public likes and a Jury Award based on criteria like scientific accuracy, creativity, and clarity.
