Different competitions.
Clear award systems.

Because the exhibition, engineering leagues and international challenges use different evaluation formats, each pathway follows the award structure that best matches how participants compete.

AWARD CEREMONY

Award systems are category-specific

A medal result is not the same as a podium rank. Participants should read the structure for their own pathway below.

Acceptance does not guarantee an award

Every award depends on the official jury process, technical compliance and the final result review.

PATHWAY 01

Invention & Innovation Exhibition

MEDAL SYSTEM

Exhibition projects are recognized through medal levels determined by the official jury evaluation. Projects compete against the published criteria rather than for a fixed first-, second- or third-place podium.

GGold Medal

Highest level of recognition for projects demonstrating outstanding strength across the official evaluation criteria.

SSilver Medal

High-level recognition for projects showing strong originality, technical quality, evidence and presentation.

BBronze Medal

Recognition for eligible projects that meet the required standard and demonstrate clear merit in the jury process.

The number of medals is not automatically limited to one of each color. Final medal decisions depend on jury results and the official award policy.

PATHWAY 02

STEM Competitions

RANKING SYSTEM

Each STEM league is scored independently. The official result identifies the three highest-ranked eligible teams in that league or division.

2Second PlaceRunner-up team in the league

1First PlaceHighest-ranked team in the league

3Third PlaceThird-ranked team in the league

Where a league has separate age groups or competition routes, results may be ranked separately according to the final technical handbook.

PATHWAY 03

International Challenges

MEDAL SYSTEM

Artificial Intelligence, Coding & Web and Aerospace challenge entries receive Gold, Silver or Bronze medal recognition according to the jury evaluation and the requirements of the published challenge brief.

On-site and online entries follow the result and eligibility rules announced for their challenge route.

Additional recognition

Special, partner and cash awards

International representatives, supporters, institutions or the organizing committee may announce additional special awards or cash prizes for selected categories. These awards are separate from the standard medal and ranking systems above.

A special or cash award exists only when it is officially announced for that category.

Eligibility, amount, selection method and payment conditions are published separately.

Receiving a standard medal or rank does not automatically guarantee an additional prize.

Partner and representative awards do not alter the official jury result.

OFFICIAL RESULTS

Technical compliance comes first

A team may receive an award only after eligibility, safety and category requirements are confirmed. Jury decisions become official after result control and approval by the organizing committee.
