For more than 13 years, the MEDEA Awards has been encouraging innovation and good practice in the use of media (audio, video, graphics, and animation) in education. These annual awards recognise and promote excellence in the production and pedagogical design of media-rich learning resources and bring to the forefront those producers, designers and teaching staff who provide such inspiration to the entire educational community, particularly in Europe. 

Two awards are presented:

• The MEDEA Award for Best Educational Media entry. This award will be awarded to the best professional or user-generated educational media product, resource, tool or service produced in the higher education, continuing education and/or training sector.
• The Special MEDEA Jury Prize. The judges may, at their discretion, present a special award to an approach or production in recognition of exceptional innovation in pedagogic or technical design.

Timeline and submission

In 2021, the organizer invites entries produced in the higher education, continuing education or training sectors.
