Emergency Medicine Music Awards (The E.M.M.As)

The EMEC is all about interactive and high quality Emergency Medicine education.  We also like to challenge ‘traditional’ education and look for new, interesting and fun ways to teach.  So here is our challenge to you - The EMMAs!!

Entries are due by 13th March 2017

What’s an EMMA?
The EMMAs are the Emergency Medicine Music Awards.  

Who can enter?
Anyone.  If you’re a medical student, nurse, doctor or healthcare professional, this competition is for you.
Don’t live in the UK?  That’s ok.  We’re very happy to take international submissions.
Want to enter as either a group or an individual?  Thats fine too.
Can't come to The EMEC but want to submit a song? Fantastic! EMMAs aren't exclusive to only people attending The EMEC.

How do I enter?
Step 1: Decide whether you’re going to write your own song or parody an existing hit.
Step 2: Write a song that teaches about Emergency Medicine or basic sciences.
Step 3: Record your song.
Step 4: Upload it to YouTube.
Step 5: Fill in the submission sheet below with the YouTube URL

How are the winners chosen?
Your videos will be shown on The EMEC website and winners are chosen by open online voting for 3 weeks after the close of submissions.  The link to the voting site will be sent out to all delegates, EMMA nominees and posted on Twitter.

What can I win?
First place - Rob Rogers "Practical Teaching in Emergency Medicine”
Second & Third place - Chip and Dan Heath “Made to Stick"

All entries will be shown on the day and receive global fame
  (global fame not guaranteed and is of no monetary value)

What are the rules?
  1. Songs must be 5 minutes or less.
  2. Content should not be offensive or breach patient confidentiality.
  3. If parodying a song, proper credit should be given to the original artist.
  4. Recording a video to go alongside your song is strongly encouraged.  Songs without a video will be paired with embarrassing Dad dancing.
  5. Voters will be asked to vote for those songs that are the most educational and entertaining.
  6. Closing date for video submission is 13th March 2017.
  7. By submitting your video, you are allowing us to share it on The EMEC website and show it during The EMEC 2017 so that everyone can learn.
