20 students participated in the contest.
For the written competition, all the papers were reviewed after the paper acceptance process: each paper was reviewed by 3 judges. 12 judges expressed their preferences in the written competition and each judge reviewed at least 7 papers. The written scores were normalized for each judge and the total score for each paper was the average of the normalized scores.
At the symposium, 12 presentations and 8 posters were judged.
15 judges expressed their preferences in the presentation competition. Not all students were evaluated by the same judges and not all of them received the same number of votes, but each presentation was judged by at least 10 judges. The scores were again normalized for each judge and the total score for each presentation was the average of the normalized scores.
4 judges expressed their preferences in the poster competition. As for the presentations, the scores were normalized for each judge and the total score for each poster was the average of the normalized scores.
For the special awards, 4 judges were involved. Each judge subjectively selected and ranked up to 5 students as the possible winners of a special award.
