Introduction
We are pleased to announce the 2nd annual “Themed Attraction Student Showcase” for the 2022 academic year.
Our goal is to provide a bridge between the attractions industry and the academic world, to help the next generation make meaningful connections with industry professionals while developing relevant skills.

- All submissions must have been produced while the individual(s) were students as part of assigned coursework or under the supervision of a faculty member (such as a thesis project or sponsored club activity).
- All submitted work must be original in design and content (no existing intellectual property).
- Professionals may not submit work, nor may a student use professionals to complete portions of their work.
