With this email we would like to make you aware that the deadline for the
IEEE CSS Video Clip Contest has been extended until August 18, 2014. This
means that there are still three weeks to submit a contribution to this
interesting competition.

The idea behind the Video Clip Contest is that participants prepare a
(possibly short) video clip on any subject related to the automatic
control field. The video may focus on a particular topic, on the field in
general, on interesting people, or may be in relation to a control course
or a research project in control. Already existing videos can be re-used
as long as the rules and regulations detailed on the contest webpage (see
below) are satisfied. Videos that have the potential to promote the
control field are especially encouraged.

The IEEE CSS Video Clip Contest is open for submissions until the extended
deadline *** August 18, 2014 ***. No further extension will be granted.

Everybody from within and from outside the control community is invited to
participate. We especially encourage undergraduate and PhD students to
submit video clips and would appreciate it if the announcement is spread
widely among students.

All videos are equally judged by a jury and the top three videos will be
awarded $1000, $500, and $250 for the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place,
respectively. In addition, the 1st place receives financial support to
attend the 2014 IEEE Multi-Conference on Systems and Control (MSC 2014)
which takes place in beautiful Antibes, France, October 8 to 10, 2014
(http://www.msc2014.org/). The top videos will be presented to the public
and an award ceremony will be held at MSC 2014.

We are looking forward to your submission!
