Since the very beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, FETP workers have been actively involved on the front lines in combating this unprecedented public health threat. TEPHINET held a video contest to tell the stories and to raise awareness of the important work of FETPs. This contest was created to give FETP trainees and alumni an opportunity to share their stories, impact, and the challenges they have had to overcome while responding to this global pandemic. 

Entrants were asked to submit one video, up to five minutes in length, in any language. A panel of judges from TEPHINET evaluated each submission on the quality of its narrative (does the video tell a clear, compelling story?), visual and audio quality, and overall creativity.

TEPHINET thanks everyone who participated in the video contest. We were very impressed by all of the submissions and by the critical work that the participants are doing to prevent the spread of COVID-19. After a long deliberation, the judges have selected the top three winners as follows:
