World Year of Physics 2005 Talent Search

In summary, there is an opportunity for those in the US aged 10-19 to showcase their physics talent through a talent search event hosted by physics2005.org. For those outside the US, it is recommended to check with respective professional physics organizations for similar events in celebration of next year's World Year of Physics. The official website for the World Year of Physics also has a listing of scheduled activities. Several organizations around the world, such as the European Physical Society and the Australian Institute of Physics, are participating in this event. As for the benefits of participating, it could potentially be a valuable addition to a resume, but ultimately, the main motivation should be for the enjoyment and challenge of participating.
