The Spanish National Museum for Science and Technology in Madrid has just launched its first amateur competition for short films on scientific issues, called Historias con Ciencia. The films must focus on the problems and positives associated with at least one of the scientific advances and challenges listed in the announcement: intelligent houses, medicine and nanotechnology, the Internet and "real virtuality," climate models, genetic manipulation in humans, and mental dysfunction. The quality of the script, execution of the video, and the scientific content will be evaluated. The video should last less than 10 minutes and be presented either in Spanish or with Spanish subtitles. Entries should be submitted to the museum between 1 and 18 October 2007. Only young--under 35--Spanish people or people living in Spain are eligible to enter.
Museum visitors will be able to view the films during this year's Science Week (between 9 and 18 November; yes, we know that's a 9-day week). Winners will be announced on 18 November. The first prize is 2,500 euros, the second, 1,500 euros, and the third, 1,000 euros.
