Winners 2026 three-minute video competition

We are proud to announce the winners of our 2026 three-minute video competition for school pupils

Three-minute Video Competition

The three-minute video competition is designed to get school pupils thinking about the study of religion at university. Each year we ask a thought-provoking question which we ask pupils to address in video form. We are always impressed by the quality of the entrants and the work that these students put into their entries.

The competition is open to 16-18 year olds in the UK studying Religions Studies, or similar programmes.

Check out our wonderful winners and their entries!
