JUDGING

- First round, 13:00-16:30 on Sunday: each team gets a 10-minute slot. We play your 2-minute video, the judges question your team for 6 minutes, then they score. No slides and no live demo in this round. Your slot and room are announced after submissions close.

- Autonomous Agents and Voice, Vision & Generative Media are judged by more than one panel. The top two teams from each panel go to a live final from around 15:50, where they run their product live for all of that track's judges.

- Each criterion is marked 0 to 3 and weighted. Autonomous Agents: does it work (30), technical depth (25), usefulness (20), video and answers (15), originality (10). Voice, Vision & Generative Media: experience (25), technical integration (25), creativity (20), usefulness (15), video and answers (15). AI for Science: scientific rigour (30), technical execution (25), path to the lab (20), novelty (15), video and answers (10).
