Lights, camera, action… the Sleek Geeks competition is now open

The 2025 Sleek Geeks Science Eureka Prize is now open, with some great cash prizes up for grabs.

The competition is designed for students who want to combine their passion for science and multimedia, to create an engaging short film, no longer than two minutes.

The competition is open to both primary and high school students who can communicate a scientific concept in an accessible, creative, and engaging way. This year the theme is ‘Above and Below’, so if you have a budding film maker at home, this could be the perfect competition for them.

Not sure where or how to start making a film? Don't worry, the faculty has produced a short how-to video explaining the five basic stages of film making.

Entries close 14 April, 7pm AEST.
