Your website should include two of the below: • A two to five-minute video (or animated video) • A five to ten-minute audio file • Three to five original photographs All the above elements should work together to tell the story of your project in a clear, coherent, accessible, creative and impactful way. The video element could be a ‘how to’ video, for example, sharing how you solved a coding or production problem. The audio element could be a podcast on the topic of your project. The photographs could be used to design a poster on your website campaigning for social change based on your project findings.
