Three Minute Research Video Contest

OSRI Three Minute Video Contest Form

Dear students and faculty,

The Office of Student Research and Innovation is supporting a new competition for APSU: the three-minute research and scholarly activity video presentation (3MRSA). Students are encouraged to work with a faculty sponsor to submit their videos following the below criteria. A group of faculty and staff will evaluate the videos using a rubric to determine the winners who will receive a monetary prize for their video ranging between $100 to $500 depending on the number of submissions.

We are all tired of this COVID-world, but we can still have a little fun and learn about some great stuff going on inside and outside APSU’s classrooms!

*This opportunity is open to any current APSU student
