How Does It Work?

This competition is held in two stages, with the final stage culminating in a design concept proposal presentation to a panel of industry judges.

Student teams will engage in a series of workshops to guide them through their projects. Once teams register, they will be invited to attend their first workshop to confirm team members and be presented with some invaluable information to prepare for the case competition. This is where the case study problem will be revealed.

Note: At least one team member to be present to attend the launch. All other workshops held at later date relating to the case competition are also compulsory and students are expected to attend.

Stage 1:

Teams will submit a two-page document that addresses the Case Competition problem.

Stage 2:

Final teams will progress to Stage 2 of the competition and are required to attend a compulsory preparation workshop. From here, finalist teams will present their final presentation to a panel of industry judges.
