Climate change is affecting many dynamics of the earth system. Both research and communication are key aspects of our response to these changes. The Ecological Society of America Student Section (ESA-SS) is sponsoring a film competition to encourage outreach along with research.
ANY STUDENT ATTENDING THE 2010 ESA MEETING IS ELIGIBLE TO APPLY
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 25th, 2010 and will culminate in a two-hour film festival at the 2010 Ecological Society of America (ESA) annual meeting in Pittsburg, PA.
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. 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. The only requirements are that it be:
- -made for educational purposes
- -less than 8 min long

The top four films from this year’s competition will also be shown during this year’s 2010 ESA student film festival.
