International graduate students registered full-time in a master's or doctoral program who are presenting their research, in the field of artificial intelligence, in the Waterloo.AI GRADflix competition. Students who completed their degree but have not yet convocated, are eligible to participate.
Award can be held in addition to minimum funding and in conjunction with other major awards.
The video submission should not infringe upon or violate any laws or any third-party rights, including, but not limited to, copyright, patent, trademark, trade secret or other proprietary rights and must not constitute material that would be considered libeling, defamatory, a privacy violation, tortious or a contract breach.
Selection of the first, second, third and fourth place winners will be made by an adjudication panel consisting of four representatives from Waterloo.AI Industry Partners. The people's choice winner will be selected by the audience. Winners will be selected based on the following criteria:
50% communication
30% creativity and visual impact
20% technical quality
Previous finalists who did not win the first-place award are eligible to compete again if the video submission is materially different, as determined by the Managing Director, from that of their previous submission.
The Waterloo.AI GRADflix will be hosted semi-annually, July and January.
Award will be distributed as a one-time payment and applied to the student's account in Quest.
Recipients are only eligible to receive the award once over the course of their program.
