Message on behalf of Ocean 180 Video Challenge:


Submissions for the 2015 Ocean 180 Video Challenge are Now Being Accepted!

Sponsored by the Florida Center for Ocean Science Education Excellence
(COSEE Florida) and funded through a grant from the National Science
Foundation, the Ocean 180 Video Challenge is designed to encourage
scientists to share their discoveries and excitement for research with the
public.

Ocean scientists of all career stages are invited to create a 3-minute
video abstract that effectively communicates the findings and significance
of a recently published study to general audiences.  Videos must summarize
the results of a paper that the submitting scientist has coauthored and
published within the past five years.

A total of $9,000 in cash prizes will be awarded to the winning entries.

Submissions will be accepted until December 1, 2014 (11:59pm PST) using our
online form:
http://ocean180.org/for-scientists/video-abstract-submission.html

Entries are initially screened and evaluated by a team of science and
communication experts to determine the top ten finalists, but the winners
are ultimately selected by student judges from 6th-8th grade classrooms
around the world. Over 22,000 students in 16 countries have already
registered to participate in evaluating the finalists this year, selecting
the videos they feel best communicate the results and implications of the
research.

This is a fantastic opportunity to practice your communication skills and
broaden the impact of your research efforts.

Webinar for Scientists: October 28
The Ocean 180 Team will also be hosting a webinar on October 28 from 1
p.m.-2p.m. ET.  Topics include contest goals and guidelines, video
submission procedures, and judging timetable and criteria.

To participate, please register at:

After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing
information about joining the webinar.
Information and full contest guidelines can be found at http://ocean180.org.
