Science monologue competition

Scientific Monologue Competition

The Science Museum of the University of Navarra is promoting this monologue competition to encourage the dissemination of science and scientific culture in an entertaining way. The monologue format is already used in national and international initiatives with a long track record, such as Naukas or Famelab, and allows science to be brought closer to the general, non-specialist public in an attractive way. This competition is open to students, employees or graduates of the University of Navarra.

There will be a first pre-selection phase, in which a preliminary jury, which will not form part of the final jury, will assess the documentation submitted and choose the finalists.

The selected participants will perform on Thursday 13 February 2020 at the gala of the Science Monologue Competition (Floor 0 of the Science Building, at 21:00 h). The monologuists must be available for rehearsals and soundchecks to be held beforehand.

Those selected for the final gala will be able to receive specific training to prepare their performance.

The jury of the final phase will award three prizes, consisting of sets of tickets to shows at the Museo Universidad de Navarra and vouchers for a dinner for two at the Museum's restaurant. The jury's decision and the prize-giving ceremony will take place on the same day as the gala, once it has concluded. In the event that the prize is not awarded, the jury reserves the right to award runners-up prizes.
The jury's decision is final.
The winner of the competition undertakes to repeat the performance if the Science Museum so requires, agreeing jointly on the time according to their availability.
