Submission Guidelines

Preparation of work

Once the participants form their group, they can start to work on the project at their own paces. All the works should be relevant to the theme stipulated in the topic (will be announced during the briefing).


Originality

The story should be participants’ original work.

Works derived from term papers or assignments previous classes or previous projects or other on-going projects are permitted, only if the participants can clearly indicate how the present work is substantively different from the previous work, and how the present work advances new knowledge or new insights of the topic.

If you are not sure whether the submission is feasible, a rule of thumb is to upload the previous work as an Appendix for the Reviewer Panel.
