The contest is produced by SAE Media Group, an SAE International Company. COMSOL is also a principal sponsor of the contest.
The contest is now open for submissions through July 1, 2021. The grand prize winner receives worldwide recognition and a cash prize of $25,000 for an innovative product that benefits society and the economy.
