Final Jury meet: After pre-screening, from the selected shortlist under each category, judges will select a winner (Gold, Silver & Bronze) for every category.

Please make your submission concise but provide enough relevant background information to enable the judges to make an informed choice.

The Jury decision will be final. In the event of a conflict of interest, the concerned jury member will abstain from judging the category.

Every care will be taken of the material submitted but the organizer will accept no responsibility for loss or damage.
