We invite you to compete for the honor of presenting your graduate work at this unique event as we celebrate Shannon at our research headquarters in Murray Hill.  Six (6) students among you will be selected to join our other illustrious colleagues in highlighting the accomplishments of Shannon, the evolution of Information Theory, and the amazing impact on our lives.

This competition aims to promote Information Theory as a discipline and more importantly as a toolset for emerging areas in information and communication technologies. If you have completed research on novel and impactful aspects of information theory or its applications, consider submitting your work to this unique event.  Applications to bioinformatics, networking, social network analysis, economics, data mining, and other emerging topics are encouraged.  The entries will be judged based on (i) relevance to information theory in the broadest sense, (ii) clarity of presentation, (iii) novelty, accuracy and where applicable, the disruptiveness and feasibility of the ideas. If you are a student working on information theory, you do not want to miss the opportunity to be part of this exciting and highly prestigious competition held at the birthplace of information theory.
