The UNCG Graduate School and UNCG University Libraries will have a competition for face-to-face and online graduate students to determine who can give the most effective webinar or virtual presentation in 10 minutes. They will put out a call for proposals to all of the graduate programs and select students to compete. Over 1 week, the competition will run virtual webinar sessions of 4-5 students in each session, with 3-4 finalists selected based on a rubric. At the end of the week, they will have 1 virtual session of 4 students and declare a winner.

The finals for 2023 are currently scheduled for Friday, February 24th, 2023. Time TBD. Anyone can attend the finals, including people outside of UNCG.
