The AEC Foundation, in collaboration with the Interstellar Foundation, is pleased to announce a competition inviting all to participate in an exceptional opportunity. The challenge is to produce a compelling 2-minute video that will be included on an interstellar spacecraft, serving as an introduction to extra-terrestrial civilizations about humanity. The video should not only showcase the creative representation of our species, but also act as an educational tool to enlighten humans about our own history.
​
Submissions will be accepted from June 17th to December 31st, 2023. To ensure that only serious entries are submitted and to raise funds for the initiative, there is a $10 application fee. All videos must be uploaded to YouTube, with the video link provided in the application form. The winner will be announced on February 5, 2024, and will be awarded a cash prize of $1000.
