Are you proud of your research project and want to share it with the world? Then this competition is for you!
In 2022, the Visualise Your Thesis TM competition is being offered for the first time at UQ. This is your chance to showcase your research and develop your skills and experience with communicating to a general audience.
Visualise Your ThesisTM was developed by the University of Melbourne and now has a wide international reach.
Eligibility
The Visualise Your ThesisTM competition is open to currently enrolled graduate researchers (i.e., students enrolled in M.Phil., Masters by Research, Ph.D., or Professional Doctorate programs) at any stage of their candidature who are active and attending.
Entry requirements
Participants must create an eye-catching, 60-second audio visual representation of their research project and its potential benefits to a non-specialist audience.
How entries will be judged
Entries are judged on their visual impact and how well the content presents the research. Presenting in a digital format allows for different levels of creativity, multi-media, interactivity and interpretation, and is suitable for all disciplines.
Prizes
Prizes for the University of Queensland entries:
- First prize: AUD $1000 and will enter the international competition round, with a chance to qualify for further prizes.
- Popular vote: AUD $500.
