This year we received 52 fantastic entries, which far surpassed the record number of entries we received in 2014. 13 finalists were selected and screened at the “Fifth Annual NESCent/HHMI/SSE Evolution Film Festival”, which was held at the Evolution 2015 Conference in Guaruja, Brazil.
Attendees voted, and this year’s winner was “Escaping the Sex Trap: Can Female Resistance Promote the Loss of Sex?”, submitted by Nathan Burke, David Sindel (University of New South Wales). Congratulations! Nathan and his collaborators received a $1,000 prize and a “Chuckie” trophy.
This year’s runner-up was “Alice and the Enigmatic Tree of Rabbits”, submitted by Fanny Gascuel, Miraine Davila (Université Pierre et Marie Curie / Collège de France / Ecole Normale Supérieure). They receive a $500 prize.
All 13 entries can be viewed on the 2015 Entries page.
Congrats to them, and thanks to all who submitted videos this year!
