Nanoprobe Network Content Contest – win an iPod Nano!

Want to win an iPod Nano? Here’s your chance. To promote our newly launched site, The Nanoprobe Network is sponsoring a contest for the best contributions to the site. The contest closes on Feb. 28th, 2009 and the winners will be announced shortly thereafter. Each winner will be awarded a brand new iPod Nano in the color of their choice – the perfect item for the nanotechnologist on the move!

We are soliciting submissions as follows:

1. Best New Probe-Pedia Article. Get started here! (since you will likely need to edit your article a few times before it’s “ready” to compete in the contest, simply e-mail the Site Administrator to tell us that the article is ready to be considered for the competition).

2. Best New Image File for the A/V Center. The winning image will be featured on our homepage. Submission instructions are here.

3. Best New Audio File for the A/V Center. Submission instructions are here.

4. Best New Video File for the A/V Center. Submission instructions are here.

5. Best Contributed Presentation for the A/V Center. Submission instructions are here.

6. Best Shared Software for the Software Library. Submission instructions are at the top of the Software Library page.

7. Most Inspired Member Profile.

8. Best Slogan – to be used as the official slogan for the Network. Send your suggested slogan to: nnadmin@seas.upenn.edu

Judging criteria: We are looking for material that is informative, educational, stimulating, or useful for scanning probe researchers. The content can appeal to a general SPM audience or to specialists. High quality technical content, beautiful images, an excellent Matlab script, or an informative presentation would all make excellent entries.

So put on your thinking caps, pull together your best scanning probe materials, and get ready to make your mark.

In the coming days we will be revealing what the prizes are, and announcing the list of expert judges from the SPM community. Check back here regularly (or even better, use the RSS feature to track this page – click on the RSS icon below) for updates!

As well, we encourage you to read and comment on the Blog posts contributed by leading experts, to edit and discuss Probe-Pedia articles, and to participate in a Discussion Forum by asking or answering questions with other users and contributing new ideas for the site itself. And let others know about the site. We appreciate your involvement and support.
