The announcements los anuncios

Hello everyone, we are noticing that some of the announcements are being posted in the blog. We have designated another place to do so which is the first link ate the right of the blog on the sidebar named Announcements, there you can ask for roomates, selling/buying stuff, personal messages and so on. We encourage you to post your announcements there.

Hola a todos, estamos viendo que algunos anuncios se están publicando dentro del blog y no en el área designada para ello que se encuentra en la barra derecha lateral o sidebar que dice announcements, ahi puedes publicar los anuncios que quieras como la búsqueda de compañeros de cuarto, venta y compra de cosas, mensajes personales y así por el estilo. Te invitamos que pongas tus anuncios ahí.

AUCTION!

The Auction is one of the most expected moments in every year's Symposium. It is an important activity because it raises money for the Student Travel Grant Fund, which has allowed many colleagues from around the world to travel to the symposium to share their knowledge and experience about sea turtles. Both Live and Silent, the Auction draws in a lot of people looking for finding that nice or crazy turtle item to bring home, contribute to the Society and of course have a lot of fun.

We'd like to remind everybody to start collecting their sea turtle auction items to bring to Huatulco, whether they are handscrafts, t-shirts, sea turtle memorabilia, alcohol or a special talent, everything is welcome and everything could reach a nice price during bidding!

For this year, we would like to have less plastic and more organics... more handscrafts and less industrial (and of course, more alcohol!)... But just about any fun sea turtle stuff will do... Huatulco will be the perfect background for a fantastic Auction!

Invitación Noche de Videos

Estimad@s amigos tortugueros:

La noche de videos ha cobrado relevancia con cada año y creemos que es uno de los eventos más importantes durante el simposio, permitiendo a todos los participantes conocer y aprender de otras experiencias mediante las artes visuales. Por esta razón, nos complace invitarlos a contar su historia en formato de video, y compartirla con la comunidad tortuguera. Los interesados deben enviar la siguiente información a la coordinadora de la noche de videos, Gaby Montiel (mmontielv@gmail.com):

- Titulo del video

- Institución o grupo de trabajo, y localidad

- Breve reseña sobre el tema abordado u objetivos del video (máximo 250 palabras)

- Tipo de formato y duración

Por favor, tenga en cuenta que el tiempo de presentación para cada video será entre 1o y 15 minutos dependiendo de la cantidad de videos que se reciban. No será posible reproducir la totalidad de aquellos videos que duren más del tiempo establecido. Considerando esto, si usted

tiene intención de presentar un video que dura más de 15 minutos, por favor prepare una versión más corta con los mensajes más importantes que desee transmitir, de lo contrario la proyección en el simposio se detendrá en el momento establecido. Esta restricción se hace para garantizar una distribución homogénea de las presentaciones y dar igual oportunidad a todos los presentadores.

IMPORTANTE: Los videos no deben haber sido mostrados en simposios anteriores. La fecha límite para enviar la información sobre los videos es el próximo 16 de Diciembre 2011.

Esperamos su participación y nos vemos en Huatulco!

Gaby

Call for Video Night

Dear All:

Video night has become one of the most relevant and important events each year. We believe it allows all participants to know, as well as to learn from other experiences through the audiovisual arts. For this reason, we are pleased to invite you to tell your story in a video format, and share it with the turtlers community. Interested ones should send the following information to Video Night Chair, Gaby Montiel (mmontielv@gmail.com):

- Title of the video

- Institution or workgroup, and location

- Short summary about the theme and objectives of the video (max. 250 words)

- Format type and length

Please, take into account that the presentation time for each video will be between 10 and 15 minutes depending on the number of videos we received. We won't be able to show the totality of those videos longer than this established time. Considering this, if you intend to submit a video that is longer than 15 minutes, please prepare a shorter version of it containing the most important messages you want to transmit; otherwise the projection in the symposium will be stopped at the appropriate time. This restriction is made to have a smooth distribution of the presentations in the Video Night and give equal opportunity to all presenters. 

IMPORTANT: The videos should not have been showed in previous Symposiums. The video submission dead line is December 16th, 2011. 

We look forward for your participation!
See you in Huatulco!

Gaby
