Announcing our 2024 Student Competition Winners
/After our virtual judging, we’ve picked the top winners in our 2024 SPD-U Student Competition! We’ll be announcing them over the next week and updating the list here. Special thanks to our judges Rachel Gogel, Emil Lendof, Alexandra Mooney, Nick Mrozowski, and Lily Qian for taking the time to review all of this year’s submissions and to our Student Competition Committee Chairs David Cooper and Josue Evilla for organizing.
This competition marked the 26th year of hosting our annual SPD-U Student Competition. After multiple rounds of virtual judging and Zoom meetings, our panel of judges carefully chose their picks from all the great student work submitted.
