I found this contest on the Entomology Society of America website.
Seeing as there's a huge community of amateur entomologists (obviously!) on this website, I felt that it would be appropriate to post about it.

Here are the requirements for eligibility of a video:
All video entries will be judged by a panel of ESA members, who will choose a winner, a runner-up, and up to three honorable mentions. Finalists will be named in August, with winners announced at ESA's annual meeting, Entomology 2019, November 17-20, in St. Louis, Missouri. Each finalist entry will receive a "Stinger" award and a cash prize: $500 for first place, $250 for runner-up, and $50 for honorable mention.
Videos will be judged on the following criteria: creativity, entomological accuracy, sound quality, video quality, and editing.
