<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 18.200000762939453px;">The Open Design Competition is a free form competition where anyone can compete with a completely unique project of their choosing. These can be anything - games, tools, fun projects, serious projects - the options are endless. Projects are demonstrated to a team of judges that include industry, faculty, and graduate students.</span></span></div>

These will be held in the BC Infil and are casual opportunities to discuss and troubleshoot issues, get design feedback, and ask questions about the competition. The schedule for these is listed below. If you need any help or guidance feel free to stop in at any time during these sessions and one of our officers will assist you.</span><br />

The final date for the Open Design Competition has been set! We will be holding the competition<b> Saturday, April 5th, 2014, at 10am in the Cherokee Park Ballroom of the Lory Student Center.</b></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
The competition will work like this: teams will bring their projects in and set them up at their assigned tables and our team of judges (industry members, professors, and graduate students) will walk around and judge each project. Each project will be judged three times and the scores will be tallied up at the end to determine the winners.</div>

We are still working out the prizes for the competition but we gave out nearly $1000 in cash in prizes last year so if you have a project you'll definitely want to come compete! </div>
