This initiative is designed to enable a large number of Early Career Geoscientists, across all fields, to participate in a test of their abilities to rapidly and effectively communicate their fields, to participate in a test of their abilities to rapidly and effectively communicate their science to a diverse audience.

The model is derived from the very popular and ultra-competitive three-minute thesis competitions that operate at university, national and international levels. Each speaker is allowed three minutes and three slides to communicate the core of their geoscience research or work. Applications close 30 August 2018.

CSIRO is generously sponsoring prizes for two categories; Geoscience Students (Hons, MSc or PhD) and Early Career Geoscientists. The prize money is to go toward professional development such as attending an international or national conference, a geological field trip or a geoscience workshop. Each category has prizes* of

• 1st Place – AU$5,000
• 2nd Place – AU$2,000
• 3rd Place – Au$1,000

*the awarding of 2nd and 3rd prizes is dependent on the merit of presentation and the number of participants in each category.
Prize recipients will be required to submit a 1 to 2 page report, with photos, on their professional development to the AGCC Organising Committee.
