Similar to last year, students will be asked to submit a video of no more than 3 minutes presenting their project. Videos will be available for a week-long viewing and voting period on YouTube known as Round 1. A team of judges designated by each college dean will select finalists from their college to continue to Round 2, a virtual, real-time Q&A session with a panel of judges.
The number of winners from each college will be proportional to the number of submissions. Each college will award at least one undergraduate and one graduate student or team as winners. In addition, after the video viewing period, each college will recognize at least one “Fan Favorite” winner based on the number of likes on YouTube and input from judges.
The first step for students to enter the competition is to submit an abstract using the online abstract submission form before the deadline on Friday, April 2 at 11:59 p.m.
