FAQs 1. Is there any set length or format for the submission? No there isn’t. Consider what will help to bring across your scenarios clearly. More is not always better. 2. Is there any set format for the presentation? Similarly, there isn’t. You’re given 15 mins to present. Know that the judges will have gone through your written submission. Focus on the best way to help the judges understand and experience your scenarios.
