Students will be able to work both individually (agencies will provide their briefs one day before the event) and in groups (on the day). After introductions students will split into three groups and the agencies will score them on their creativity, ability to work in a team, communicate effectively etc). After 45 minutes of group work students will delegate a 10 minute presentation of their ideas to one candidate from their group. As a result three students will represent three groups. It can also be done by more group members than just one but will depend on the decision of the group.

University affiliation is not relevant in the contest.

I am still in the process of finalising the list of students for this contest and am accepting new enquiries until 10.00 on Friday 14 May 2010. To submit your enquiry please send me your CV and I will let you know by 17.00 on Friday 14 May if you have been selected for the next stage.
