Students who will be participating in a group for Virtual Final, must note that the payment for registration works per artwork / performance/ project.

Students who will be participating in a group for Global Final, must note that the payment for registration works per applicant and not per artwork / performance/ project. Meaning each participant in the group is expected to pay their own registration fee.

Each participating group may have a maximum of 3 members only. No exceptions will be made for additional members.

Participants may enter multiple categories in the Virtual final, however in the instance where multiple entries are selected for the global final, only one entry may be registered for the global final.

The iWISE committee will announce the list of finalists and each qualifying participant will receive and email confirming their selection.
