THANK YOU FOR YOUR INTEREST IN THE 2015 GENERATION AUTO VIDEO CONTEST.  THE CONTEST IS NOW CLOSED.

OESA, Deloitte and SAE International announce the launch of the 2015 student video contest “Generation Auto.” The contest, organized by OESA and SAE International, with the support of Deloitte, encourages college students to pursue careers in the automotive industry. This contest invites students who participate in the SAE Collegiate Design Series™ competitions to create and submit videos no more than two minutes in length highlighting the diverse aspects of the automotive industry that make it an attractive or “cool” industry in which to work. Cash prizes are offered to the SAE CDS teams with the top three videos. Each year, more than 8,000 students participate in the SAE CDS which provides an opportunity for students to get hands-on with “Extreme Engineering” by going beyond textbook theory to design, build and test the performance of a real vehicle built for competition. CDS team video submissions can be uploaded to the contest website starting in early April. Two rounds of judging will rate the selected videos on a set of criteria including message, accuracy and creativity. For the final round of judging, the three videos with the highest ratings will be viewed and voted on by attendees at the OESA Annual Outlook Conference on Nov. 10, 2015. Winners will be announced at the conclusion of the conference. The partnership between OESA, Deloitte and SAE is a natural fit--all three organizations see the critical need for the next generation of innovators in the automotive industry. The need for a highly skilled and technical workforce has never been greater, and the industry offers a myriad of opportunities for ambitious students who desire a challenging career in a fast-paced industry.
