Eurovision Challenge 2025

16th May 2025

It’s Eurovision time again which sees a return of the ever popular and highly contested PQA Eurovision Film Challenge music video competition! We received over 40 entries this year, which saw students asked to create a one shot music video which incorporated this years theme of ‘Unity Shapes Love’, inspired by the Swiss tradition of direct democracy, which revolves around listening and dialogue.

Congratulations to our super talented students, teachers and academy principals for some truly outstanding work this year! Read the results and watch all of the videos below.
