This year, the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Affairs is running two separate communications contests for graduate students: the Three Minute Thesis (3MT) contest and the GRADflix contest.

Each contest gives you the opportunity to share your research with a general audience and a chance to win money! Both will be held in April.

The Three Minute Thesis (3MT) is an academic research communication competition developed by The University of Queensland (UQ), Australia. It is a celebration of graduate student research that challenges grad students to communicate the key concepts of their research in a compelling presentation of three minutes or less.

GRADflix, which originated at the University of Waterloo, is a research video competition. Each contestant may submit one video about their research, and all videos must be no longer than one minute in length.

For each contest, cash prizes will be awarded for first ($1000), second ($500), and third place ($250) winners, according to the determination of the judges, along with an extra cash prize ($250) for the people’s choice award.

If you are interested in competing in either contest, please sign up at the appropriate page below. You will be provided with further information about eligibility, training, and contest dates and times.
