Enhanced structure for the 2nd AEEDC Students Competition:

 

We acknowledge the fact that during the 1st AEEDC Student Competition last year, some bits and peaces were not thought thoroughly through, a thing which created some confusion amongst the participants, nevertheless, we soundly believe that the outcome was to a far extent fair, but we understand that a few questions were raised.

Having constant enhancement in mind, and knowing that the best source for improvement is the feedback from the audience and the participants, we have taken all the comments from different parties in to consideration, and have actually improved both the competition and the judgement systems in a noticeable structured way, we do sincerely hope that all will be satisfied by the changes made, a scheme of which will be short before the event posted on the AEEDC Dubai home page, we thank everyone for their continues support and hope for a very active participation.

 
See you all soon.
