Live presentations will be held on Thursday, November 21, from 4-6 PM at the Athenaeum. Ten finalists will present their research in talks exactly four minutes and thirty-three seconds in length. Awards include $433 for the grand prize winner and $150 for three runners-up.

An homage to John Cage’s landmark composition of the same name, the 4 Minutes, 33 Seconds Contest highlights University of Georgia student research in the arts. The event offers an opportunity for students to win prizes and to share their creative inquiry with peers, faculty, administrators and alumni throughout the university community. The competition is open to any graduate student or undergraduate student working on an advanced project, who is conducting research related to the literary, visual, or performing arts or artists.

The 4 Minutes, 33 Seconds Contest is part of UGA’s annual Spotlight on the Arts festival.
