Another Cool Video Competition
February 14th, 2007
So in promoting the first annual Phylm Prize I have been making a loads of online friends and discoveries. A while back I was introduced to some very nice people over at Planet Scicast. They’re asking for science videos too. Unfortunately, their competition is focusing exclusively on science demos, is limited to UK contestants, and requires the physical posting of your entry. However, as they have real sponsors, you can expect bigger prizes than I can afford to give away on my teacher’s salary.
If you enter their competition you can go ahead and enter to win the Phylm Prize too. Not all Phylm entries will qualify under the Scicast rules, but all Scicast eligable entries should qualify for entry in the Phylm Prize. So what are you waiting for? Go ahead and get started: Phylm Prize Website, Planet Scicast Website

To fill in the gaps here: SciCast will launch towards the end of April, will run probably until the end of the year, and yes, unfortunately the competition will be UK-only. We’re not the only other ’short science films’ competition, either – there’s at least one more, that’s (confusingly?) going to run via our site too. But it’ll all make sense in the end. Promise.
Hopefully we’ll be able to take whatever lessons are learned from Phylm, build on them, then feed back for Phylm 2008. Also, most UK entrants in Phylm will be eligible for SciCast, our rules will be very similar.
Exciting times!
(and for the record: ‘Phylm’ is a much better title than ‘SciCast.’ Ah well, too late to change it now. :-)
