NiCHE is sponsoring a slidecast competition to increase awareness of topics int he study of history and environment. Each slidecast is a five-minute audio presentation accompanied by fifteen slides, three per minute.

The subject matter is up to you as long as it has something to do with history and environment.

Submissions will appear both on the NiCHE website and the "NiCHE Canada" YouTube channel. They can be in English or French. The deadline for submissions is 15 November 2009. All entrants must be 18 years of age or older.

Here's a contest where you get to leave your rank at the door. Professors, students and members of the community at large are all encouraged to enter and help spread their knowledge of environmental history and historical geography. You don't have to be a world expert on your chosen topic to enter. Just do your best, be creative and have fun.

Full contest details available on the contest website.
