[Crystal growing logo]

Following the great success of the IYCr2014 competition, schoolchildren were invited to take part in the 2015 edition and convey their experiences of growing crystals through a video.

An international panel of judges has evaluated all the entries using the following criteria: creativity, aesthetic value, description of the working plan and experimental work, clarity of explanations and scientific background. Gold, silver and bronze medals were assigned to each of three categories based on the age of the participants.

Congratulations to all laureates! Enjoy watching the winning videos at www.iycr2014.org/participate/crystal-growing-competition-2015/winners.
