Sloan Foundation have launched a $10,000 award honoring excellence in digital science storytelling.<\/p>\n<p>Open to creators worldwide, the award invites submissions from those with a proven track record of impactful science storytelling. The inaugural Sloan Buzzies Award is a brand-new category in the WCSFP\u2019s Buzzies Awards.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to the award, Sloan\u2019s support will enable three digital creators to join WCSFP\u2019s Global Career Accelerator at Congress \u201925, a program designed to spotlight the next wave of standout factual storytellers. Each selected participant will receive full accreditation, a travel bursary, personalized mentorship and curated networking to help fast-track their careers in the global science and factual content industry.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis new award reflects our belief that great science storytelling can thrive across platforms, and that digital creators are playing an increasingly vital role in how global audiences engage with complex ideas,\u201d said Adam Kirkham, director of partnerships for WCSFP. \u201cWe\u2019re grateful to the Sloan Foundation for supporting the Congress&#8217;s commitment to amplifying these voices.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are excited to launch the inaugural Sloan Buzzies Award in partnership with World Congress of Science and Factual Producers and to recognize YouTube and TikTok as creative powerhouses in the media space,\u201d said Doron Weber, VP and program director at the Sloan Foundation. \u201cThese awards are part of Sloan\u2019s new program to support and honor talented creators on YouTube, TikTok and other non-traditional digital platforms who engage with science and technology and reach expanded audiences of all ages.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith Sloan\u2019s support, we\u2019re recognizing the vital role digital creators play in today\u2019s media landscape,\u201d said Paul Lewis, conference director for WCSFP. \u201cCongress affirms that creators on YouTube, TikTok and other digital platforms are as vital to the future of factual storytelling as their linear counterparts. Powerful science stories can thrive just as well on a smartphone screen as on a television screen.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The World Congress of Science and Factual Producers (WCSFP) and the Alfred P.
