Description:
The Student Eco-Film Awards (SEAs) is a contest designed to honor outstanding student contributions to ecological science through film. Conducted in partnership with SciVee, the contest will open on January 24th, 2010 and will culminate in a two-hour film festival at the 2010 Ecological Society of America (ESA) annual meeting in Pittsburg, PA.
****You do not need to be a student, and you do not need to attend the annual meeting to apply.****
EVERYONE IS ELIGLE - just one of the people involved needs to be an ESA member,
which is open to anyone interested (http://www.esa.org/member_services/join_renew.php)
The category for this year’s film is “Educational” and is targeted towards students interested in creating short films aimed at educating others about any topic related to ecology or climate change. The only requirements are that it be:
-made for educational purposes
-less than 8 min long
-suitable for public display
-does not violate copyright law (all material must be your original work)
Beside the general topic of ecology or climate change, the content is up to you and we encourage you to be creative and develop your own approach.
*****SUBMISSION DEADLINE is June 30, 2010, 11:59 PM EST*******
A panel of judges will determine the most outstanding films to receive 1st-3rd place Student Eco-Film Awards and the People’s Choice Award will be voted on by the public (limited to one vote per person).
