Presenting in the No-Bell Prize

No-Bell Prize Presentations

Graduate researchers who apply to compete will participate in initial rounds of the competition (heats).  Up to ten researchers will be selected to present in each heat with the top presenters of each heat moving on to the No-Bell Prize Final. In each round including the final, researchers will present for one minute, followed by three minutes of questions from the host and one minute of questions from the audience to make up a total of five minutes.

During the five minute presentation, our panel will make a note each time they hear jargon such as language which is too technical or acronyms that are not widely understood. An official will keep the time and count the number of notes per speaker.

The researcher with the least notes during their presentation will be the winner of each round.

How to apply

Applicants will need to submit a short video (up to 90 seconds) talking about their research via the application form. 

Refer to the No-Bell Prize guidelines for more information.
