Entries must tell a real scientific story, which may be a scientific concept, discovery, invention, or the producer's own scientific hypothesis! Anything goes, but keep the science in the story, and keep the science real. Entries are to take the form of a 1-3 minute film. This competition is about scientific content and communication of the content, not production values i.e. judging criteria are not related to how much money is spent on production and editing. While good quality production is encouraged, this will not be a major consideration in judging entries. 1st place wins $4,000 and a $500 book voucher from Abbey’s Bookshop in Sydney, 2nd place wins $2,000 and 3rd place wins $1,000.
