Jury Decision Information
Dear Participants,
The quality of your projects has made this a close decision, so the jury needs a little more time to deliberate. We expect to announce the winners at around 2:30 p.m. The announcement will be made by email only, so please keep an eye on your inbox.
If you are selected, please confirm your attendance at the final pitch as soon as possible after receiving the email.
In the meantime, please enjoy the lunch that will be provided on the IMS Patio, outside near the entrance to the IMS Building.
Thank you for your patience!
