Teams who complete the soybean contest but do not place will earn an honorable mention award of $2,000.

 New this year is an additional contest sponsored by the Indiana Corn Board, which will have one overall winning team that will earn $6,000.

Both competitions encourage students to invent new, environmentally-friendly products from corn and soybeans.  A call-out and team formation meeting will be held on September 18th at 6:00 pm in the Food Science Building, Room #1215.  Those who sign up ahead of time will receive free dinner from Jimmy Johns.
