To celebrate 2014's International Clinical Trials Day, Global Health Trials ran a competition to attend the Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene Annual Meeting in Oxford, UK, in September 2014.

Entrants were requested to send in two-minute videos, or photoboards, about their research projects or careers. The entries were shortlisted, and the shortlist sent to a panel of four independent judges, and marked out of five on each of four criteria:

  • Content (relevance, scientific interest),
  • Engagement (keeping the audience interest),
  • Creativity,  
  • Supporting information/reason for attending.

The judges remarked on the high quality of the entries.

In first place was HENOK NGUSSIE, for his entry about the GOLBET Trial for Podoconiosis in Ethiopia:
