It's A Contest!

I’m sure word of this is getting disseminated adequately without my little added promo for it, but if you haven’t heard yet the National Museum of Mathematics has announced the "Steven H. Strogatz Prize for Math Communication" for applicants between 15 and 18 years of age. How cool is that! Read all about it here:

The contest is worldwide, and I’ll bet there are going to be some sensational, maybe mind-blowing entries -- so much untapped creativity across the globe. But deadline for submissions is April 22, 2020, not all that far off. All sorts of forms of communication are encouraged, falling into various categories, and will be judged on the basis of “content, creativity, communication.” There will be cash prizes and of course posting of winning entries on the Web.

What a great idea to encourage young math minds early on along their path. Hope/assume this will be an annual event.
