This is a competition in which awards will be presented to the lab or center submitting a motion video segment which provides the clearest information whether it be for training, student orientation, or to introduce the facility. Please understand that only a limited number of videos can be included due to data constraints. Videos will be judged for inclusion based not primarily on the equipment or facility displayed, but on the instructional or informative value of the content. The submission may contain background music, transitions, effects, subtitles, etc. These effects are not part of the judging criteria. While 95% of the adjudication will evaluate the content, there will be some consideration given to the overall professional quality of the submission.
