Are you passionate about the chemical sciences and keen to communicate to the widest possible audience? Think you could get your message across in fewer than 800 words or a five minute recording? The Chemistry World science communication competition 2013 offers a fantastic opportunity to do just that – not to mention a cash prize.
There are two categories this year: written and multimedia storyboards. Your chosen topic should be related to the chemical sciences and incorporate this year’s theme: openness in science. We’re looking for a modern, clear and concise style that will convey the significance and interest of the topic to the global readership of Chemistry World.
The competition is open to students, postgrads and early career scientists anywhere in the world. The competition is open only to new science writers; those whose main source of income is through science writing or who have professional (paid) science writing experience are ineligible.
Entries should be sent to chemistryworld@rsc.org with ‘Chemistry World competition’ in the subject line.
The competition closes on the 31 January 2014 and winners will be announced at prize giving at Burlington House in London on 5 March 2014.
