SMPTE Announces 07 Student Paper Award, Scholarship, and Edition of SMPTE Motion Imaging Journal

The Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers(R) (SMPTE(R)), the organization whose standards work has supported a century of technological advances in entertainment technology, is now accepting entries for the 2017 Student Paper Award, the student edition of the SMPTE Motion Imaging Journal, and the Louis F.

These programs and events give students a variety of opportunities to explore the motion-imaging field and to connect with their peers as well as industry leaders while showcasing their creative and technical talents.

"SMPTE is fully committed to supporting students in pursuing their interest in the motion-imaging field, be it in research, technical innovation, or content creation, said SMPTE Education Vice President Richard Welsh. "This year we ve made it more accessible than ever for students to get papers published in the SMPTE Motion Imaging Journal. We re looking forward to seeing some awesome work put forward by students from around the world!"

Student Paper Award and Student Edition of the SMPTE Motion Imaging Journal

The Student Paper Award recognizes an outstanding paper, prepared and submitted by a SMPTE student member, that addresses a technical phase of motion pictures, television, photographic instrumentation, or their closely allied arts and sciences. The winning paper is published in the Journal, and the winning student receives a full conference registration to the SMPTE 2017 Annual Technical Conference & Exhibition in Hollywood, California, with recognition at the Society s Honors & Awards Ceremony.

This year, students may submit the same paper for both the Student Paper Award and the 2017 student edition of the Journal, which recognizes the author and the institution at which the work was done.
