CAETS Communication Prize 2026
The CAETS Communication Prize, the Global Award for Engineering Communication, recognizes the most effective short video — five minutes or less — that communicates the value and impact of engineering and technological innovation to a broad audience. Each CAETS member academy submits one national entry to the international competition.
Entries are judged on their clarity, engagement, and ability to make complex ideas accessible and inspiring to non-specialists. The international winner receives a $5,000 prize and funded travel to the CAETS Annual Meeting to be formally recognized.
In order to be considered as the Dutch representative in this contest, please send petra.zaal@nae.nl your submission (preferably in a YouTube link) as per the directions in this document before March 20th.
