The Faculty of Economics is once again hosting this competition, whose aim is to promote financial culture among secondary school students. The prizes will be awarded at the gala and the videos of the winning teams will be projected.

On 27 October, at 12 p.m., the prizes will be awarded to the authors of the winning videos of the second edition of the Financial Culture contest, organised by the Universitat de València, through the Banco Santander-UV Chair for International Finance, and the Committee for Cooperation with Secondary Schools of the Faculty of Economics.

This competition has been promoted once again this year with the intention of promoting and stimulating financial culture among young people, as well as teamwork, rewarding initiative and creativity. The contest is open to all 3rd and 4th year students of Compulsory Spanish Secondary Education (ESO) or Spanish Upper Secondary School Education (Bachillerato) in the Valencian Community. 

The videos submitted by the teams have a maximum duration of 4 minutes and deal with aspects related to the contents of economics subjects, such as sources of business financing, personal finance, the importance of taxation in contributing to the economy for the common good, money and means of payment, the financial system, the international context of the economy or current economic imbalances.

The contest has two categories (ESO and Bachillerato) and two awards for each category, with €150 per student for the first prizes and €100 per student for the second prizes.
