Entry Rules

1. A project may be submitted anytime after its completion.  Completion is defined as follows: If the Registrar has recorded the Completion of Degree Requirement form (CDR), the project is completed for those students named on the forms.
2. A project may be submitted only once.
   1. To enter the competition, the project author(s) must:
   2. Fill out the competition entry form on line. And print a hard copy
   3. Submit a separate Executive Summary of no more than five single-spaced pages.  Note: You may revise the executive summary of your final project report for this purpose. This summary should accurately represent the report and call attention to those features of the project which are felt to be outstanding and worthy of consideration by the Awards Committee.  This summary is the major determinant in the preliminary appraisal stage.  Projects are unlikely to get beyond the preliminaries if the summary is poorly written.  Your objectives, procedures, and outcomes must all be crystal clear.  We urge you to discuss your Executive Summary with your advisor.
3. Notify your IQP advisor(s) that you will be entering your project in the competition.
4. Project advisors will be asked to comment, in writing, on the project for the Awards Committee.

Oral Presentations

We will arrange practice sessions for oral presentations for all finalists who want some practice in doing oral presentations.
