Students at Dartmouth are doing research in every academic discipline, from the sciences and social sciences to the humanities and creative arts, but there are limited opportunities to share this work beyond their specific fields.

MAD (Made At Dartmouth) Research is a video competition that gives undergraduate students the opportunity to communicate their research to a broader audience. MAD Research is a partnership with SURFD and the Dartmouth Libraries' Jones Media Center (JMC).

This is a great opportunity to communicate your research in a more accessible way, grow your skills, and expand your resume. Creating a video also builds engagement with your research as you translate your work into a digital story. The process encourages you to be creative in a way a written thesis, poster presentation, or formal talk may not allow.

Plus there are cash prizes! The grand prize for the top video is $1,000. Additional cash prizes dependent on quantity and quality of videos received. 

SURFD will host a film screening on Friday, April 24, during which students will vote for the "People's Choice" Award. The winning student will receive a $250 prize, and all attendees who participate in the vote will be entered into a raffle.

The deadline to submit is 11:59 PM on Wednesday, April 15th. Check out our website for eligibility, rules and regulations!
