The teams then present their solution before a panel of judges representing both industry and academia. One half of the teams presenting in each of the three divisions (Undergraduate, Graduate, Early Career Professionals) from Day 1 will be invited to advance to a Finals Round on Sunday. On Monday, June 19, two teams in each division will be showcased before the entire congress and a new set of judges, in a grand finale session at the Town Hall in Christchurch. The winners in each division will be formally announced during the IFAMA awards ceremonies at the Presidential Banquet on Tuesday, June 20, at the Town Hall in Christchurch. |
