Public vote video award
STEM Alliance will post the video on STEM Alliance official Facebook and Twitter accounts. An additional award will be given to a video with the largest public support on these official accounts. Votes on other accounts will not be taken into account. The video will be selected using the amount of retweets or likes on Facebook to measure its popularity.
