What's with the name?

SciEx = "scientia" (science) + "exhibio" (to show). Thus SciEx is a way to show-off science! [or if you prefer: SCIence + EXtreme]

I have cool video footage but no time for editing. What do I do?

I am an artist/musician. How can I help?

Can we submit multiple videos?

By all means! We have no restrictions on the number of videos you submit, and if they all pass our quality checks, they will all be posted on the SCIEX video gallery upon contest termination.

Do computer/physics simulations count?

Sure! As long as 12-year-olds can understand what's going on, and will think it's cool, by all means!
