Promoting plant health through videos: turning complex science into impactful stories for policy and public outreach

The Plant Health Video Contest, organized in connection with the International Day of Plant Health (12 May), invites early-career researchers from around the world to showcase their plant health research through short videos, helping to raise public awareness of the importance of protecting plant health while celebrating young scientists and fostering global collaboration. The Plant Health Video Contest aims to: Increase the visibility of plant health research and raise awareness among non-scientific audiences about the importance of protecting plant health. Recognize and celebrate the commitment, achievements, and contributions of early-career researchers, including MSc and PhD students, postdoctoral fellows, and young scientists working in plant health. Foster connections and collaboration among individuals and organizations engaged in plant health initiatives worldwide. This poster outlines the objectives of the Plant Health Video Contest, explains how it works and provides links to video submissions and winning entries from previous editions (2020–2025).
