Five finalists will be selected by the SXSW Selection Committee. Each finalist will receive one Platinum badge ($1,725 value) to attend SXSW 2020.

One winner will be awarded the David Carr Prize at the Interactive Innovation Awards during SXSW and will have an opportunity to give a short speech upon acceptance.

Students must be currently enrolled or have graduated within seven months of the deadline. Original and unpublished entries will be reviewed by our David Carr Prize Advisory Board.

Applications are now closed.
