Dear all, We would like to highlight a fun opportunity for scientifically-minded and creative young people over the next few weeks. The Time for Nano project has a video competition being run on YouTube. It is for people aged between 14 - 20 and is a chance for them to get their creative juices flowing! The competition requires them to make a short (less than four minutes) video on nanotechnology and its applications. It should also reflect on one (or more) of the following themes: - Health - Divide - Privacy - Human enhancements - Environment (details of these themes are on the Time for Nano website). There is a prize of £500 for two winning videos. One video will be selected by the 'public vote' (that is, people rating it on YouTube etc.), the other will be selected by a jury. The deadline for entries is the end of August 2010, so get cracking! The web addresses are: Time for Nano: http://timefornano.eu/ Competition rules: http://timefornano.eu/nano-video-competition YouTube channel: http://www.youtube.com/timefornano If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to get in touch with me directly.
