The challenge is open for final year undergraduate and master’s level students in any field.

2. Review related body of work: academic journals, practitioner literature such as industry websites and other reliable sources.

Each participating university will in December 2014 nominate one winner for each category (undergraduate and master students) to enter the global competition.
