Wired Science announced the launch of Wired Science Student Video Contest hosted by Apple Student Gallery, the web’s premier collection of student-produced digital media projects. The online video competition calls for student innovators and experimenters in grades 9-12 to explore a scientific principle and create a short video. Anything science-related will qualify– from a math formula or a chemistry equation to a law of physics.

Three cash prizes will be awarded, with first place winning $2,000. Registration for the contest closes March 15, 2008; submissions will be accepted through April 1.

The top 20 finalist videos will be posted to pbs.org and in the Apple Student Gallery. Submissions will be evaluated by a panel of judges, including experts from the Wired Science blog, Correlations, the Wired Science panel of advisors led by science educator Michael Lampert of West Salem High School, and editors from Wired magazine.
