5 June 2024
Lincoln University’s Learning, Teaching and Library department (LTL) - in association with Tikaka Tuku Iho, Living Heritage - are excited to invite entries for the first ever “Teach Me Anything” vlogging competition.
We’re seeking vlog-style videos which showcase Lincoln University, the Selwyn district, and the wider Waitaha Canterbury region. If you have knowledge to impart, don’t hesitate! Just press record and share it with us. We’re eager to learn from you! 
There are several categories to enter, with the Grand Prize Winner receiving a trophy commemorating their victory.
Categories:
Mātauranga Māori
These are videos that explore or share knowledge in the context of Māori culture, history, language, or traditional practices.
Science, Technology and Academia
Videos that explain scientific concepts, new technologies, or interesting facts about the universe. Maybe even a day in the life of being an Academic/Researcher...
Health and Wellness
Videos in this category are meant to provide audiences with tips on maintaining their physical health and mental wellbeing. This could be workout routines, meditation techniques, or healthy eating habits...
Travel, Culture and People
This category gives the more intrepid amongst you an opportunity to go out and explore the wider world: you could climb to the top of Aoraki, Mount Cook, using the camera to document your journey! Or not. Consider capturing road trips, vacations, conference experiences, nights on the town, or visits to cafes/restaurants...
Sustainability and Environment
These videos are meant to promote environmental awareness, sustainable living, or conservation efforts.
