Notes
Nominees will receive certificates, together with invitations to the glittering Awards Ceremony, to be held at the Royal Institution in London on 30th March 2009. Category winners will be announced at the Ceremony: winning teams will receive individual mini-awards and a coveted ‘SciCastie’ block award for the team, along with Amazon vouchers.
Congratulations and good luck to all the nominees, and our thanks to everyone who submitted a film.
The Big Bang Fair is wrapping up, which means we finally have a bit of quiet (well, apart from people dismantling exhibition stands all around us…) to write up the nominations list.
Here we go…
