Congratulations! 

We would like to thank all the professors and students who submitted over 400 papers to us. The committees had a really difficult time deciding on the winners, because each work was excellent in its own way and therefore a big THANK YOU to all the students who submitted their works and in this way expressed their maturity in thinking, creativity and willingness to share their talents with us.

After reading the winners and honorable mentions, I will ask the professors to send me the contact numbers of the declared winners and honorable mentions in messenger so that I can coordinate with them the award ceremony.
