The Office of Undergraduate Research invites undergraduates to submit a 2-minute research video and compete for $6,500 in the Texas Student Research Showdown.

The Texas Student Research Showdown is a research communication competition for undergraduate researchers at The University of Texas at Austin. Student researchers create videos explaining their research or creative activity to a general audience. As selected by a panel of faculty judges, the top two videos in two categories (arts, humanities, and social sciences; science, technology, and engineering) will receive $2000 and $750 awards, and an “audience choice” winner selected by UT students will receive $1000. Student awards are provided through the generous support of Kimberly and Scott Martin.

The competition is open to any UT undergraduate involved in research or creative activity in any major. Submissions reflecting group projects, research outside the STEM fields, and thesis-work-in-progress are particularly encouraged.
