RTT Student Awards contest launched

Students from around the world have been invited to enter the annual RTT Student Award, sponsored by NVIDIA and Wacom.

RTT has called for submissions of visionary ideas and concepts to enter in the categories of ‘Emerging Technology' and ‘Funky Visualization,' with an expert judging panel deciding on the highest caliber submissions.

Winning students will present their project at Excite 2012, RTT's showcase for cutting-edge innovation and technology in the world of 3D real-time visualization.

Claudia Krasper, initiator of the RTT University Program (RTT UP), explains, "As we are working in an incredibly creative and dynamic industry, RTT is always on the scout for bright talents."

"The Student Awards help us to find and mentor potential candidates, and in turn, we offer them the unique opportunity to showcase their ideas at Excite 2012," she adds.

Awards are open to all universities, research teams, and students worldwide. The entry deadline for submissions is 31 March 2012.
