- Open to girls from 13-18 years of age
- Must be 30-60 seconds in length
- Must be suitable for general public viewing
- Topic should be why you think either science, technology, engineering, or mathematics is cool
After the contest closes, people can vote for their favorite video from March 18th till March 24th. The winner will be announced on April 3rd and will receive a very attractive prize in the form of: a $2,500 monetary award, a 16GB tablet and $500 in L'Oreal beauty products.
