During the first half of July, the faculties of Sumy National Agrarian University took part in a career guidance video contest. Its main goal was to create modern, authentic, and engaging content that would help prospective students learn more about the faculties, student life, and the opportunities offered by studying at SNAU.
According to the contest rules, each faculty was required to produce one video lasting up to one minute.

An awards ceremony for the participants was held on July 17. The winners received gift certificates worth 3,000 UAH, 2,000 UAH, and 1,000 UAH for “Shnobel,” a restaurant serving hearty meals:
