MEDEA is a European competition supported by the Lifelong Programme of the European Commission. It was established to reward excellence and creativity in media in education, to encourage innovation and good practice in the use of media. The criteria used to judge the quality of submissions to the MEDEA awards include pedagogical quality, use of media, aesthetic quality, usability and technical quality.
