Young Professional Best Paper Award Competition

ENTRIES FOR THE 2025 YOUNG PROFESSIONAL BEST PAPER AWARD ARE NOW CLOSED: CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR 2025 FINALISTS

USAEE invites young professionals (35 years old or younger at the time of submission or within five years of completing their last degree) to submit abstracts for the annual Best Paper Award Competition. Not only do the winners receive recognition for their exceptional work, they also receive a cash award.  For information on 2025 finalists and finalists and award winners from previous years, please see below


We invite young professionals working in academia, industry, government, and other organizations to participate in this competition. Each year, four finalists are selected to submit their full papers and present their research live at the USAEE/IAEE North American Conference. 


Eligibility Criteria
:

To be eligible for consideration, the applicant must:

  • Be a young professional (35 years old or younger at the time of abstract submission or within five years of completing their last degree).
  • Not be a current student. Students should submit their papers to USAEE student events, such as the Student Paper Competition and USAEE Annual Conference, rather than this Young Professional competition.
  • Be a current member of USAEE or IAEE in good standing. Membership information is available at usaee.org or iaee.org.
  • The concept development, research, and writing of the paper must be primarily the work of the young professional or represent an equal contribution among all authors.
  • The paper must not have previously won a prize at an IAEE-affiliated conference.

Questions related to these young professional events should be addressed to Dr. Yuting Yang (yutingyang@unm.edu).
