The 2014 entry deadline is Monday, February 10, by 5 p.m.
Eligibility
Individual MSU faculty and staff, or teams of faculty and staff, are eligible to submit innovations in credit-bearing MSU courses they have developed and offered at least once between summer 2013 and spring 2014 to this competition.

Up to four honorable mentions may also be awarded from any combination of the three categories.
