It’s time for students with a knack for communicating, and budding filmmakers with an interest in science, to pull out their cameras. Sponsored by the University of Sydney, the Sleek Geeks Science Eureka Prize encourages students to explore a scientific concept, discovery or invention, or test their own scientific hypothesis in a short film. Students can work individually or in teams of up to six people, and there is a prize pool of $10,000 to be shared between the winners and their schools.

12 grants, with two tiers of funding at $10,000 and $20,000 per grant. Themes: People and regions. Environmental awareness. Innovation into the future. Healthy bodies and minds. Encouraging diversity. Safety first.
