International Year of Crystallography is to establish a vibrant worldwide network of schools participating in crystal-growing experiments and taking part in national and regional competitions. This will introduce students to the exciting, challenging and sometimes frustrating world of growing crystals. <strong>We announce a worldwide competition</strong>, open to all schoolchildren. The winners will be those who most successfully convey their experiences to the panel of judges through videos or essays.</p> <div style="text-align:center;margin-left:aut0;margin-right:auto;margin-top:6px; margin-bottom:6px;"> <iframe width="560" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/cNyQ_pMGxWs?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe><br /> <small><a href="http://www.iycr2014.org/__data/iucr/iycr2014/video/SingleCrystal_DEF.mp4">Download high-definition version of this video (195 MB, MP4 format)</a></small> </div>  <h2>Winners of the 2014 edition</h2> <p>A panel of judges has evaluated all the entries using the following criteria: creativity, aesthetic value, description of working plan and experimental work, clarity of explanations and scientific background. </p> <h4 style="text-align: center;"><strong><a href="https://www.iycr2014.org/participate/crystal-growing-competition-2014/2014-winners">Click here to watch the videos</a></strong></h4> <p>Certificates and prizes will be sent by mail to the laureates (laureates will be notified in advance about the exact date).<br /> <strong>The official announcement of the laureates will take place during the <a href="https://www.iycr2014.org/legacy/conference">IYCr2014 Legacy launch conference</a> in Rabat (22-24 April 2015).</strong> </p> <h2>How to participate?</h2> <p>The aim of the competition is to grow your own crystals (whether involved in a regional/national competition or not) and to convey your experience through a video or essay. The following guidelines are applicable:</p> <ul> <li>for a video contribution: maximal duration of three minutes, format mpeg, avi or mov</li> <li>for an essay contribution: maximal length five pages, PDF format obligatory</li> </ul> <p>Each contribution should clearly show or mention the experimental work carried out by the participants during growing their single crystals (compounds and methods used are free of choice). Furthermore the contribution should reflect in a creative way on the experimental work and theoretical background and/or applications.</p> <h2>Rules</h2> <ul> <li>The closing date for submissions was <strong>22 November 2014</strong>.</li> <li>The competition was open to students of primary or secondary schools; maximum age 18.</li> <li>Language: mother language of participant or English.</li> <li>A maximum of one entry could be submitted by any individual or team (essay or video).</li> <li>Contributions were required to respect the category guidelines (see above) and be submitted in digital form only.</li> <li>The judging panel will be nominated by the International Union of Crystallography. The decisions of the judging panel are final.</li> </ul> <p><strong>Submissions are now closed. </strong></p>  <h2>Prizes</h2> <p>The winning contributions will receive a certificate and a medal.</p> <h2>Criteria for evaluation</h2> <p>A panel of judges will evaluate the entries in two different categories.

Selected schools have received a starters kit containing some documentation and 1 kg alum, the material to crystallize during this competition. A brochure provides information to teachers and schools who participate in this exciting venture.</p> <p>The official start of the competition was <strong>Monday 6 October 2014</strong>. During a period of <strong>four weeks</strong> students should grow a single crystal of alum. We recommend to work in groups of 4-6 students which makes the daily follow-up of the crystallization process easier. The competition ends on <strong>Friday 31 October 2014</strong>. A total of 51 crystals have been submitted to UNESCO headquarters from participants in Singapore, Benin, Argentina, Cote d'Ivoire, France, Zambia, Cape Verde and Switzerland.</p> <p style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://www.iycr2014.org/__data/assets/image/0020/110549/unesco_cg.jpg" width="605" height="138" alt="unesco_cg" style="border: 0px solid rgb(0, 0, 0);" /> </p> <p>The laureates of this competition are:</p> <p><strong>1st prize - Yishun Town Secondary School, Singapore</strong></p> <p><strong>2nd prize - Benin Université, Benin</strong></p> <p><strong>3rd prize - Yishun Town Secondary School, Singapore</strong></p> <p><strong>4th prize – Colegio Juan Demonte N° 2701, Argentina</strong></p> <h3>Additional information</h3> <p><img src="https://www.iycr2014.org/__data/assets/image/0006/100500/foto-kit_small.jpg" alt="[starter kit]" style="float:right;margin-left:10px;margin-top:10px;width:25%;max-width:800px;" /></p> <ul> <li><a href="https://www.iycr2014.org/__data/assets/pdf_file/0004/100498/brochureUNESCO.pdf" target="_blank">Information brochure</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.iycr2014.org/__data/assets/pdf_file/0003/100497/Alum-MSDS.pdf" target="_blank">Alum safety data sheet</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.iycr2014.org/__data/assets/pdf_file/0005/100499/label-crystal.pdf" target="_blank">Labels for attaching to submitted crystals</a></li> </ul> <p>For more information, please contact:</p> <p style="margin-left:1em;">Amelle KORICHI<br /> UNESCO - Natural Sciences Sector<br /> SC/PCB/IBSP<br /> 7 Place de Fontenoy, 75007 Paris<br /> France<br /> a.korichi@unesco.org</p> <p style="margin-left:1em;">Jean-Paul NGOME ABIAGA, PhD<br /> UNESCO - Natural Sciences Sector<br /> SC/PCB/IBSP<br /> 7 Place de Fontenoy, 75007 Paris<br /> France<br /> <a href="mailto:jj.ngome-abiaga@unesco.org">jj.ngome-abiaga@unesco.org</a></p><br /> <h1 style="clear:right;"><img src="https://www.iycr2014.org/__data/assets/image/0011/100505/4.png" alt="[4]" style="float:left;margin-right:10px;margin-top:-12px;width:48px;height:48px;vertical-align:middle;" />The difficulties - and beauties - of growing crystals artificially</h1> <p>In parallel with these activities for schoolchildren, the IUCr Commission on Crystal Growth and Characterization of Materials, in association with the International Organization of Crystal Growth, is building on this web site a <a href="https://www.iycr2014.org/participate/crystal-growing/gallery">gallery of pictures of artificially grown crystals</a>.
