The Contest is open exclusively to individual students in teams of two, of which at least one team member is female.
Both of the team members must study in the same region for the duration of the competition.
They are not, however, required to be from the same university, nor are they required to study the same subject or be in the same year, as long as they are not in their first year of their undergraduate education.

Should an individual student Entrant be disqualified, that Entrant’s team will no longer be able to participate.
