It's time to get out your ballgowns and tuxedos. FQXi is rolling out the red carpet and inviting you to join us as we announce the winners of our first ever video contest: "Show Me The Physics!"
As Brendan hinted in an earlier post, the judges have now made their decisions. The three top prize winners will be walking away with $10,000. We are also awarding $3000 each to the best video by a young scientist and to the creator of the audience's top pick. We're also distributing a large number of discretionary prizes for videos that impressed us, educated us, or just amused us in some way.
So join FQXi's directors Max Tegmark and Anthony Aguirre (along with some special guests) as they open the envelopes. Will there be tearful acceptance speeches? We shall see.
The event: The FQXi Video Contest Award Ceremony 2014
The time: Friday 5 December, 1:30pm ET
