Is ‘diversity of identities’ a mandatory requirement for teams to participate?
Teams are encouraged to include a diversity of identities due to the theme of the competition.

Have varied perspectives been considered and incorporated into the final proposal? Therefore, while a diversity of identities is not mandatory, we strongly encourage it to set you up for success!
