Sleek Geeks Science Eureka Prize
Organization: Australian Museum
Program Overview
A national Australian short science film competition for school students, encouraging creative communication of scientific ideas.
The **Sleek Geeks Science Eureka Prize** is a national Australian short film competition that challenges school students to explain a scientific concept in a fun, engaging and accurate way. Run as part of the prestigious Australian Museum Eureka Prizes, the competition focuses on science communication, asking entrants to produce a brief video (typically around 1–2 minutes) that clearly and creatively explores a scientific idea or phenomenon. The competition is open to Australian primary and secondary school students, with separate categories for different year levels. High school students can participate individually or in teams, guided by a teacher, and are judged on scientific content, creativity, and clarity of explanation. Participants develop research, scripting, and video production skills, and shortlisted entries gain national recognition, with winners announced at the annual Eureka Prizes awards. Entry is free, making it an accessible way for students to build their STEM communication portfolios and stand out in future academic or scholarship applications.
