  Nice Idea !.....
  But, I have a doubt. Paper presentation, as its name suggest includes presentation part as well. How are we gonna judge a paper without it being presented.
  
  How about asking contestants to record a video of their presentaion? Not appealing to me even as it involves lot of costly efforts to contestants.
  
  What do you say?

  Awesome idea. Let the contestants load it on youtube! A paper presentation alone would be too easy 😉

  Good point, Differential.
  
  There could be various ways.
  
  1. Users upload their presentations on SlideShare and share the link.
  2. Users record their videos and send them to us.
  
  What would be the best time to conduct this contest?

  I guess the best time woud be after their examinations 😔
• 

  Differential

  Frankly speaking, in India, the exams are taken on wide speard time schedule for diff colleages and universities. But still let us target the time when most of the folks are exam-free.

  silverscorpion

  wait, wait.
  Now, mine is a slow connection and I will find uploading on youtube difficult. It'll be difficult even for very small sized files. So, what do people like me do??
• 

  Kaustubh Katdare

  Don't worry, we'll work out a solution that works for all !
• 

  Black_Rose

  That's cool Big K, great idea. If it's after two weeks, I'd love to participate too!
  
• 

  Kaustubh Katdare

  Not very soon. We'll have to spend time getting the sponsors. It's not happening in next two weeks, for sure.
• 

  Harshad Italiya

  Yep Biggie but i think we can not Set the date which suits to all the members so let we select Members First which are going to present the paper or Ppt presentation then we will set the date... and of course we must have Sponsors.. i am trying here in my company if i got something from them.
• 

  slashfear

  Paper presentation hmmmm sounds good bigiee 😁!!!! bring it on we are ready to participate 😉
  
  As godfather said, its better to select the members who are going to participate then fix a date, i think it would be better 😒

  Rifaa

  Me no student. me too old to be student. but will help any way I can.
  Idea is pretty good, yes. biggie keep us posted, you must.
• 

  enthudrives

  Great idea. I would like to participate. But the dates and topics should be announced earlier. 😁
• 

  Kaustubh Katdare

  @enthudrives: We'll announce the competition well in advance. But be sure to check CE forums daily 😉
• 

  enthudrives

  Ok sure. I created an account long time back. But going through the forums only today. I'll check out everyday
• 

  ultimo

  Hey sure, thats a great idea.Waiting for it......When are you planning to host it???? Instead of the video, why not record our voices and merge it with the presentation and post it??
• 

  Kaustubh Katdare

  Why do we need video / audio? Let's only collect papers. This activity needs deep planning.
• 

  Ashraf HZ

  I think a video or audio will add some fun into it. I think submitting just a paper is a bit too bland for a forum like us 😉
• 

  Kaustubh Katdare

  I'm game for video/audio presentation. I was only concerned about the participation it'd receive.
  
  Such a competition will need bigger prizes (I believe) to generate interest from members.
• 

  Saandeep Sreerambatla

  I have a suggestion here , We can have a section called CE - Press
  Where all the papers are placed and general press releases about our CE can be placed.
  
  How is it?
  if already planned /placed let me know 😀
  if not check the usefulness/feasibility to implement the same..
  
  Thanks

  smita89

  yeah.. great idea biggie!! rolling up my sleeves already!
  
  Although the video idea seems really cool, it might be difficult adding it on youtube for people who have a pitiable internet connection (moi included). So yeah PP format is ok for the presentations and maybe the can have a LIVE chat with the top 5 participants and get some Q/A done.
  
  After all, no PP is complete without that. 😁 so what say?
• 

  Kaustubh Katdare

  Hmm. I've had a different plan earlier. I'll share it with you -
  
  1. Call for Power Point Slides from the participants.
  2. Select the top 10.
  3. Have a telephonic chat with the participants (the selected ones) to ensure the didn't copy the ideas from some place.
  4. Select top 3. All presentations can then be shared on CE through SlideShare shows.
  
  Audio / video will add jizz; but I'm afraid, it will affect the participation.
• 

  smita89

  telephonic chat sounds good!! Who's going to pay for all those calls i wonder 😛
• 

  Kaustubh Katdare

  Incoming calls are free, Smitzy. Don't worry.
• 

  smita89

  Incoming calls are free, Smitzy. Don't worry.

  Oh yes.. totally forgot about that.
  *dumb moment*
  😁
• 

  Kaustubh Katdare

  Hint: Skype is totally free (incoming & outgoing 😉 )
• 

  silverscorpion

  Now this is a good idea. It appeals to me..
  
  Let's do this. 😀
• 

  smita89

  oh brilliant.. i forgot about skype too!
  
  I think that is the reason why I'm a mere mortal, whereas biggie is the ADMIN 😁
• 

  kashish0711

  I can't wait to participate 😁
• 

  Kaustubh Katdare

  This contest needs planning and I brainstormed this idea with few people who'd help in organizing this contest.
  
  The proper time to launch such a contest would be around August, I guess. Say what you? 😁
• 

  kashish0711

  any date after 26th June would be great and giving something like 10 days for preparation also, mid july or august whatever suits you the best. 😀

  Why do we need video / audio? Let's only collect papers. This activity needs deep planning.

  I agree with BIG_K, writing a paper needs extensive research. A presentation is just a cherry on the cake. Maybe a Poster design contest relating to the paper will be easier to implement. 😁
  
  Anyway Im GAME.
• 

  Kaustubh Katdare

  Yes, surely. I'm currently involved in 3 big projects that need my total attention. In the mean time, can few of the volunteers design the contest. I"ll chip in at the right point.
• 

  kashish0711

  I will try to propose a format by midnight. 😀
• 

  silenthorde

  hello BIG_K
  
  This topic almost drifted into oblivion. Are you still thinking of organising this contest, then I have a format ready, If you'd like to have it.
• 

  Kaustubh Katdare

  Share it with folks here!
• 

  silenthorde

  STEP I: Online submission of abstract.
  
  STEP II: Selection of 10 best entries by judges.
  
  Step III: Submission of complete papers by the top 10 entries.
  
  STEP IV: Publishing the papers as THREADs in CE for questions from s and judges
  
  STEP V: Selction of top 3 winner papers based on Q&A on threads by judges.
  
  Hows that sound BIGGIE? Is this Cool with you?
• 

  Kaustubh Katdare

  Hmm. Sounds good. What say you, folks?
• 

  silverscorpion

  Good plan. Let's do this!! 😀
• 

  Harshad Italiya

  Nice concept but rather than questioning here as a post i suggest to make a conference in which judge will ask question and candidate have to answer them at a time.
  
  First of all can we decide the seminar or poster presentation topic or let them coming from candidate's side.
• 

  Harshad Italiya

  I will help in managing this contest.
  Guys its time to find out judges? 😀 yes we have great minds here on CE. Time to make them post for judges.
• 

  silenthorde

  LEt's not limit the number of papers by pre definining topics. Innovation knows no bounds...
• 

  wassup

  This is cool. I guess we need to classify the topics so right people can judge it. Cleantech enthusiast bring it on 😀 Lets see if we can get some real stuff out there.
• 

  shashank734

  i m waiting like this comptition............
  
  hey topics must be latest and best.........
• 

  oaskanta

  yes thats quite true sir....... audio/video will increase expenses and it will also not let members like me who have a slow net connection from uploading the videos..... we can any time give paper or slide presentations easily..... that will also portrait one's knowledge in the field..... besides queries can be asked here and minimum time alloted to clarify them....won't that work out????
• 

  jhbalaji

  Thanks
• 

  safwan

  i tooooo ready to participate. but i am not soure i will be able to meet the requirements.
• 

  arjunoids

  good idea.
  i would like to give one suggestion.
  make a separate section in the website with only text content (since image take more time to load) & no images. and most of the web browsers(older versions) load images first.
  so, the contest pages will open very quickly.
  or, you can even make a separate website for the contest (just a temporary one).

  😕hi ,

  😕hi ,
  but i have a doubt.will all engineering disciplines be grouped together or will there be different categories.

  The details are yet to be worked out. I'm guessing that general engineering topics is the way to go.
  
  Otherwise, we could ask members to submit presentations on their own topics and then evaluate the entries based on the depth of knowledge, ideas presented, level of understanding etc.
• 

  CIVILPRINCESS

  ok!
  i cant wait to get involved with this paper presentation

  nice idea.

  Vinothmathaiyan

  Hi Guys,
  
  How is this going. We are working on similar concept for presenting paper. This was started in helping students.
• 

  KAMAL MANDAL

  Sir but when it will held can you tell the date and the link or where to send??

• 

  Kaustubh Katdare

  #-Link-Snipped-#‍ - The contest was held back in 2009. Please look at the date of the first post. 

• 

  Ramani Aswath

  #-Link-Snipped-#‍ , what exactly is being attempted?

  Technical domain knowledge and writing skills, or presentation skills?

  If the former then then a paper/ powerpoint /poster should suffice.

  This would put all on a level field.

  CE can have a separate competition for presentation skills.

• 

  Kaustubh Katdare

  This is an old thread, sir. We had a contest back then. We'll come up with more such contests in near future.

  I noticed that only after I posted a reply.
