Students Invited to Take Compete
in YouTube Video Contest Showcasing Innovation
Ioana Patringenaru | August 20, 2007
The Task Force on the Future of American Innovation is sponsoring a YouTube video contest to illustrate how scientific discoveries resulting from federally funded research in the physical sciences have changed our lives. Participants, especially students, are invited to submit three-minute videos that focus on past transformational research or showcase what may happen in the future. Participants are urged to let their creativity flow, with music, humor, or other formats to help celebrate American innovation. The deadline for submissions is Sept. 10.
The top five videos selected will be posted on the task force’s Web site and showcased at a Capitol Hill event on Oct. 4, which will commemorate the 50th anniversary of the launching of Sputnik by the Soviet Union and the ensuing American investments in research and education.
The producer of the winning video will win an all-expenses-paid trip to Washington, D.C., for two people from within the United States to attend the Capitol Hill event. The prize will include round-trip travel expenses, one night hotel accommodations and a scholarship check for $1,000. The four runners-up will each receive a check for $300.
