✨ Submission Categories

Individual Submission

Perfect if you like working on your own or already have a strong idea in mind.

This option is great for students who:

• Prefer to plan and create independently

• Are confident in managing the whole process from start to finish

• Want to showcase a personal voice or message

Your entry should show clear thinking, creativity, and originality.

Group Submission (Up to 3 Students)

Great if you enjoy teamwork or want to share the load with others.

This option is great for students who:

• Work well in teams or CCAs

• Like brainstorming and building on each other’s ideas

• Want to combine talents (e.g. design, writing, research)

Team entries often benefit from multiple perspectives and a creative mix of skills.

❓FAQs

Q: Will judges be more strict with individuals or groups?
🟢 No — both are judged fairly. The same criteria are used for all entries, but we consider the context (e.g. individual effort vs team collaboration).
