The competition is judged by staff and general membership representatives of CNTA.

The purpose of the CNTA Video Contest is to promote a better understanding of nuclear technology among high school students. It also provides an incentive for the development of creative, research, written, and communication skills that are vital to continued success in education and in the workforce.
