IEEE Broadcast Technology Society Student Paper Competition

To interest young engineers to consider careers in broadcasting, the IEEE Broadcast Technology Society (BTS) is sponsoring an annual student paper competition. This competition is open to all undergraduate students enrolled in a recognized university, college or technical institution, who are pursuing a degree in engineering, science or a related field. Papers must focus on issues related to broadcasting, which can be very broadly defined as the delivery of information and entertainment to fixed or mobile audiences. The paper must be reviewed by a Professor for suggestions and corrections. He/she must certify that the paper is your work. The paper must be in English. You must be able to present the paper in English, in the event that you are invited to present at the Annual IEEE Broadcast Symposium in October.

Prize:
First prize: US $250, a Certificate and an all expense paid trip to the Annual IEEE Broadcast Symposium to present the winning paper; Second and Third prize: US $250.00, a Certificate, and complimentary registration to the Annual IEEE Broadcast Symposium. (For co-authored papers, only principal author receives prizes (first, second, or third).

Eligibility:
The competition is open to all undergraduate students enrolled in a recognized university, college or technical institution, who are pursuing a degree in engineering, science or a related field. The student need not be a member of IEEE or BTS.
