schoolchildren and aims to introduce students to the exciting, challenging and sometimes frustrating world of growing crystals. This initiative was originally launched in 2014 as part of the celebrations for the International Year of Crystallography and has now reached its fourth edition.<br /> The winners of the <strong>2023 edition of the IUCr Crystal growing competition</strong> will be those who most successfully convey their experiences to the panel of judges in a video report.</p><!-- <h2>How to grow a single crystal -with Joanna </h2> --> <div style="text-align:center;margin-left:aut0;margin-right:auto;margin-top:6px; margin-bottom:6px;"> <div style="text-align: center;"> <iframe width="480" height="270" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/cNyQ_pMGxWs?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe> </div> <div style="text-align: center;"> <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> </div> </div> <p>Learn with Johanna in this movie from <a href="http://quidos.net" target="_blank">Quidos</a> about how to grow a single crystal.

Furthermore the contribution should reflect in a <u>creative</u> way on the experimental work and theoretical background and/or applications. <em>It is strongly recommended to use English subtitles when applicable, and to provide the name and age of the participants, along with their photos, as well as the name of the school at the end of the video</em>.</p> <h2>Important dates</h2> <ul> <li>Closing date for submissions: <strong>19 November 2023</strong></li> <li>Notification of winners and launch of 2024 edition: <strong>29 January 2024</strong></li> </ul> <h2>Rules</h2> <ul> <li>The competition is open to students of primary or secondary schools; maximum age 18.</li> <li>Videos submitted to local competitions during 2022 may be also submitted to the IUCr competition.</li> <li>Duration of video: strictly no longer than four minutes.</li> <li>Format: mpeg, avi or mov, or hosted on a public video platform (<em>e.g.</em> YouTube, Vimeo)</li> <li>Language: mother language of participant or English.</li> <li>A maximum of two entries per category per school is permitted.</li> <li>The judging panel will be nominated by the International Union of Crystallography.
