A scripting competition open to everybody is organized by LSS-Planetarium 

HOW TO PARTICIPATE:
You have to send by email, FTP, Web hosting service, CD, DVD or USBkey a ZIP file including your stellarium script with the images and audio (if needed).
The stratoscript must be compatible with Stellarium 0.8.2, 0.8.9d or 0.9.1 (please precise when sending the dataset).
The stratoscript has to be conceived for projection in 180° view mode (oriented dome or not).
It must be sent to astro2kpremium@msn.com before October the 18th 2009 (one week before the galilean nights).
You can tell that you'll participate ahead of time (even now!) and you'll benefit a cool invitation script done by us !
For those knowing what kind of scripts we are able to produce, don't be afraid, we will not participate :-)

ACCEPTANCE WHEN SENDING A SCRIPT:
In sending a script, you accept for this script to be spread to the different validated competitors (and only them) but only AFTER the ending date of the concours (of course). 

ADVANTAGES TO PARTICIPATE:
The goal of this competition is to form a group of digital planetarists using the stellarium scripting method to share the best stellarium scripts available. The people in this private group will access all productions validated by the jury. Any people willing to enter this group will have to propose a personnal production of a minimum quality to be accepted.
In return, he will access to all of the scripts present in the share directory (the scripts from this competition and those added by the newcomers and some others from the LSS-Planetarium group).

PRIZES:
A full set of 20 short Stratoscripts for planetarists covering a lot of astronomical thematics and maybe other prizes (other scripts, shows, videos, ...) depending on the number of scripts received, the quality of them and the different sponsorships that we will be able to gather...

THE JURY:

The results and prizes will be available October the 24th, 2009 (for the galilean nights).

Good Luck for everybody and now script !
