World Changing Ideas Video Contest

World Changing Ideas Video Contest

Scientific American is pleased to announce The World Changing Ideas Video contest, in partnership with SciVee. The contest is open to video entries about innovative ways to build a cleaner, healthier, safer world. The ideas represent a simple yet powerful vision of a better future. Some ideas may be in use now; others are emerging from the lab. For examples, see "World Changing Ideas," Scientific American; December 2009.

We are seeking noncommercial videos of 2 to 5 minutes in the following categories:

• Energy
• Transportation
• Environment
• Electronics or Robotics
• Healthcare or Medicine

Scientific American will judge the entries (and ask our readers to pick their favorites in each category) and announce the winners in July, 2010. Videos will be judged on overall impact, scientific content, concept/originality, entertainment value, and production quality.
