“Mi:t&Links 2020” comes with a few changes, therefore we kindly suggest you to go through the competition rules before submitting your entries. Here are a few things you should pay attention to:
Submission periods
Each year the submission period shifts a little. It is always a matter of a few days, but when it comes to deadlines, every day is of importance.
Early Birds 9.12 – 20.12, 15:59 EET
Regular 20.12 – 15.01, 15:59 EET
Late 15.01 – 31.01, 15:59 EET
Keep in mind that the time for the submission period has changed from 23:59 EET to 15:59
Application form
To make the whole process less time consuming, we have changed a few sections you should pay attention to. Some parts have been merged, some separated, therefore take a little bit time and check the application sections before.
Summary (100 words max)
Pre-research/situation, Challenge (250 words max)
Strategy/idea (250 words max)
Implementation (200 words max)
Documented Results (150 words max)
Confidential Information (not mandatory) (100 words max)
Onsite Presentations
After changing the evaluation criteria, bigger emphasis than previous is on presentations – 30% and 70% online.
- Is this the winning case? (Does the presentation and answers to the question confirm the written case? Has the strategy been appropriately chosen and do the results meet the objectives?)
- Is the case well explained and all answers are answered?
- Does the presentation bring added value to the case? Does it give a complete understanding of the case?
Be prepared to spend a little more time on preparing for the presentations.
Total time for presentation hasn’t changed, it is 10 minutes, which include 4 minutes of entrants’ presentation and 6 minutes Q&A session with the jury.
All presentation materials must be submitted by February 27, 4 pm EET at latest to the e-mail address info@miitandlinks.com. Check the formats here.
