- At the video contest can participate one independent student or teams of students from high schools or colleges in the final year of education. It is highly encouraged the participation of female students, therefore it is mandatory for the teams of students to include in the team at least one female student participant.

It is recommended the individual participant or the team members to explain in the video how they have used in their project the knowledge gathered in Science, Technology, Engineering or Mathematics (STEM). Participants are encouraged to ask for and use the support, advice and recommendations from the teachers who teach such disciplines.
- Non-exhaustively, in the context of the international video contest, the definition of term “SMART” means “any action, product or system that is innovative or has an innovative use, is sustainable, economic and improves the work and life of people”. Smart Transport Technology can be, for example:
- a prototype of an innovative vehicle which is environmental friendly, has low energy consumption or was produced with low costs;
- a vehicle that can be build or produced easily, without significant effort, is not expensive and can be used on large scale by people or workers;
- an innovative system of transport that can reduce bottlenecks and/or improves safety of circulation inside or outside cities;
- an ordinary object or vehicle with an innovative use, improving life of citizens or the work of people in transport industry or logistics;
- an ordinary object with an ordinary use but with innovative results, that can be used in transport or logistics;
- an innovative and/or sustainable solution useful for the development of transports and/or logistics;
- the use of alternative energies in producing vehicles or transport technologies
- technologies or vehicles prototypes that can be used in SMART ports, SMART logistics, SMART cities or for well-being of SMART life
