The submitted works were carefully judged by experts including university professors, TV news chiefs, and chief editors of magazines to select the Best Video Award, SDGs Award, Special Video Instructors Award, and the Panasonic Prize.

Two students of Aoyama Gakuin Yokohama Eiwa High School acted as supporting MCs for the awards ceremony, a new initiative for this contest to allow students of participating schools to experience the realities of creating such shows.
