Deadline for submissions is March 21st, 2012. (Though check this link to see more Alice competition opportunities: http://www.cs2n.org/competitions)

Theme: "Save the World in 60 Seconds!".
If you could create an animation up to 60 seconds to tell people how to protect the planet, what would you create?

You may use any version of Alice. We have tutorials for Alice 3.

Winners will receive free copies of ROBOT-C.

The submission contains three parts of a story (beginning, middle and end).
Animation timing is appropriate.
The background and set support the story and are interesting.
Most procedures have a logical purpose, with explanatory comments that are easy to understand.
