Yes. If you have entered in previous years, whether or not you were successful, there is nothing to stop you from entering again. The task changes every year, so there is no differential advantage for those who have competed before.

We recommend that you line up your team now and get the competition date noted in people’s calendars so that they are available when needed. You will definitely need to have your team in place by then. Of course, once you see the brief, you may want to make some changes to the team, and that’s fine. We just need to know the final lineup when you send us your completed submission.

That’s okay. Completing an entry form is an expression of your intention to take part but does not commit you to anything. However, we would really appreciate it if you could tell us as soon as possible if you decide not to take part, as this helps us plan our resources.

The format will be PowerPoint. Entries must also be totally anonymised so that it's not possible to identify the individuals or companies who are taking part - this helps us ensure the judging is completely impartial. We will provide full details of the required format when we brief you on the task. Initially, you just need to complete an entry form.

No. We'll ask you to indicate which one you think it's most likely you'll respond to, as it may help our planning, but we will not hold you to this. We will send you both briefs and you can decide which one to enter when you see them.
