2013 Student Showcase for Visualizing Communication Concepts
The Society for Conceptual Logistics in Communication Research is proud to announce the 2013 Student Showcase for Visualizing Communication Concepts. Entering is easy and fun. Any undergraduate or graduate student can submit an entry.
Students can create and submit original images and videos that visualize a specific concept in communication studies. This competition is an excellent opportunity to augment your communication courses or offer extra credit.
Complete Rules
The Basics
- The video or image should clearly explicate a single concept in communication studies. This concept can be drawn from any "field" of research so long as it pertains to studying human communication. The image or video should translate the concept to the visual medium in such a way as to enhance our understanding or better explain the concept, especially for fellow students who may be new to the concept.
- Videos must be submitted to YouTube in 720 or 1080 resolution and be 3-5 minutes long. Videos can be live action or animations. They cannot be interactive.
- Images must be >200dpi and at least 8 inches squared (minimum 8"x8" 200dpi) submitted as a JPEG or PNG file.
The Details
- There is no cost to participate.
- Students must be currently enrolled as an undergraduate or graduate student.
- Students may work in teams of no more than three people.
