NAE video contest -- $25,000 Grand Prize

In celebration of its upcoming 50th anniversary, the National Academy of Engineering is launching Engineering for You (E4U), a video contest to show the impact that engineering has or will have on society. We are offering a $25,000 prize to the most inspiring 1-2 minute video focused anywhere between 1964 and 2064. The contest will run from Nov. 1, 2013, to March 31, 2014. Learn more at www.e4uvideocontest.org.

You are invited to join us in highlighting engineering achievements past, present, and future as well as make others aware of how the engineering endeavor has benefited humankind. This contest would make a great class assignment or enhance a capstone project or paper that students are already working on. In addition, the resulting video could easily end up being useful to your own institution for recruiting members and presenting the goals of your organization.

We hope that you will participate in the contest and also encourage those in your local communities to participate!  

For any additional questions, please email E4Uvideocontest@nae.edu.
