Your description should cover how the entry works, what makes it novel, how it would be produced, and where it would be applied. Entries will be judged on these criteria: <ul> <li>Innovation (50% of score) -- Is the design novel? Does it represent an important advance over the current state of the art?</li> <li>Feasibility/Manufacturability (25%) -- How easy would it be to implement? Could it be cost-effectively manufactured/produced? Has it been demonstrated to work? (Please note: prototypes are NOT required.)</li> <li>Marketability (25%) -- Does the idea have practical applications? Is there a well-defined market for its use?</li></ul></li> <li>Upload at least one (but no more than three) visual illustrations. File type options: <ul> <li>PDF(single-page), GIF, JPEG, or PNG. The visual illustration(s) should complement your entry description and can be drawings, photos, charts, or CAD images. <strong>File size should be kept under 2MB per illustration. Larger files can cause the entry form upload to time out.</strong></li></ul></li></ul> <p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>Entries submitted without an illustration automatically will be disqualified, no exceptions. We cannot accept PowerPoint presentations, white papers, or other documents as illustrations. All descriptive text should be entered in the space provided on the Entry Form. Text on illustrations should be limited to captions or call outs.</strong></span></p> <p><strong>Video: </strong> You also have the option of submitting video to support your entry (limited to one video per entry). Maximum length: three minutes. First, upload your video to YouTube or Vimeo. Then, when you complete the Entry Form, provide the link to the video. We cannot accept any video files by e-mail. Video is optional.</p> <p><strong>Prototypes: </strong>It is NOT required to have a prototype of your product. However, if a working prototype does exist, please indicate this where asked on the Entry Form. Entrants are encouraged to include an illustration of their prototype with the entry materials.</p> <p><strong>Cross-category topics: </strong>On the entry form, in addition to choosing a primary category (which is mandatory), you will have the option to select topics that are covered in your entry. This should only be done if any of the topics are relevant to your design. By choosing a topic, you may be considered for a sponsored prize for the best entry on that topic. There is no guarantee that any such prizes will be sponsored or awarded.</p> <p>If you are having difficulty submitting your entry, please <a class="contact-us" href="#contactus">contact us</a>.</p> <p> </p> <h4>JUDGING</h4> <p>There are two rounds of judging. The first will determine a) the overall Top 100 entries; b) the finalists who will move on to the second round. The second round will be a live competition. One finalist per category will be invited to New York City to present in-person to an independent judging panel. The Grand Prize and Category winners will be chosen and announced at the conclusion of these presentations. The Sponsors will cover the travel costs for finalists to attend the live event. In the case of team entries, the Sponsors will cover the cost for one team member to attend. To be considered for the Grand Prize and Category prizes, finalists must attend the live competition and pitch their idea to the judges. Further details and instructions will be provided to the finalists once they are selected for the second round.</p> <p>The finalists will be announced in September 2024, at which time the date and location for the live presentation round will also be announced.</p> <p>SAE Media Group will recruit a minimum of 24 judges from its editorial board of readers. The judging panel also will be open to one representative from each Primary Sponsor. The judges are prohibited from entering the contest themselves or evaluating entries from any organization at which they are employed, or from family members. All decisions of the judges will be final.</p> <p> </p> <h4>VOTING</h4> <p>The Top 10 Most Popular Entries will be decided by the voting of registered users of the contest Web site. Voting will be open until September 9, 2024 (11:59 pm EDT). <strong>These votes will have absolutely no bearing on the selection of Grand Prize or Category winners, or the Top 100 Entries, which are determined by independent panel of judges. Vote totals will only be used to determine the winners of prizes for Most Popular Entries.</strong> Each registrant is allowed one vote per entry. Votes will not count if the registrant does not accurately complete the required fields on the registration form or if the registrant attempts to enter fraudulent data. The Contest Administrators will adjust the vote counts at any point in the competition to discount votes from registrants who have not registered properly or who attempt to vote for a single entry multiple times (including any attempt to use e-mail aliases). Voter registration data will be kept in strict confidence and used only for verification, to ensure a fair voting process.</p> <p>The Popular Vote prize winners will be announced on the contest web site.</p> <p> </p> <h4>RESTRICTIONS AND NOTIFICATIONS</h4> <ul> <li>No purchase necessary to enter or win.

If it is only a few sentences, chances are it’s too short. We suggest you review last year’s winning entries to get an idea of length and what you should cover.</li> <li><strong>Illustrations submitted in an unacceptable format and/or with an excessive amount of text. </strong>As spelled out in the Rules, acceptable file types include PDF (single-page), GIF, JPEG, or PNG. If you attempt to submit a Word or PowerPoint document, your entry will not be accepted. And as noted above, text on illustrations should be limited to captions or call-outs.</li></ol> <p>Avoid these pitfalls and save time/effort!</p> <p>Questions? <a class="contact-us"
