As the May 12th deadline approaches, let's address some of your most frequently asked questions about the Student Awards:

Categories

We have four award categories, with three recognizing individual student achievements:

Best Still Image: Awards the most exceptional single image created by a student.
Best Film: Celebrates the most outstanding student-produced film or animation.
Best Academic Presentation: This unique category recognizes the most innovative and groundbreaking project presentation created for academic work. For inspiration, see examples in these articles from Arch20 and Illustrarch. Note: Presentations go beyond single images, encompassing a complete board that comprehensively explains the project.
School of the Year: This award celebrates institutions with the highest overall student achievements. Schools will be automatically ranked based on contest rules without direct selection by judges.

*All submissions must be REAL academic work and not professional/commissioned pieces.
