Make a video about information and win $$$!

Wednesday, July 18th, 2007

The SPARC Discovery Awards challenges you to illustrate in a short video presentation what you see as the value of sharing information. Use your imagination to suggest what good comes from bringing down barriers to the free exchange of information.

The prize is $1,000 and they suggest that it could be an interesting assignment for students.
