What's Different This Year

[Aug-19] Significant changes this year:

• City Essay deliverable. Maximum word count for the essay remains at 1500. This now includes all words in captions, graphics, illustrations and tables. Title and references are not included.
• Model size. Basic size remains the same: 25 in. x 50 in. x 20 in. This is the size of model in basic transport configuration. However, during the presentation, you are allowed to have deployable parts that extend beyond these dimensions to illustrate special features of the city, as long as these parts are fully self-supported by the model - or, if removable - held by a presenter. They must be obviously part of the model - you may not spread these parts out around the table or on the floor.
