Happy 2020 everyone! 2019 was a momentous one for the Competition, as we saw our most widespread year yet and met at an extremely prestigious and welcoming university! For me, it was a year of a lot of firsts as I waded through many personal challenges to make this event happen, and to be honest, I am very proud of myself and what I was able to accomplish professionally. Every day should be spent trying to better and improve yourself and what you can handle, and I hope you all tried as hard (and hopefully harder!) than I did this last year for myself.

It is so incredibly exciting the have finally reached the year itself that we hold our next competition! Even though we still have 7 months until the Finals event, that time is going to fly by faster than you would imagine. There is still plenty of time to work on your projects and papers, but that time is going quick. Registration ends on March 13th and papers are due on the 3rd of April, so do not delay too long!
