Guidelines & Steps to Participate

  1. Work must be original. Plagiarism or purely re-posted (self-plagiarism) content without significant modification is strictly not allowed. If you choose to resubmit one of your previous blog or article contents, please ensure that it is enhanced with new insights, updates or additional value to make it distinct!
  2. Avoid AI-generated content (taking help of AI tools to improve the grammar or style is fine, however make sure it does NOT hallucinate) - let your own insights shine!
  3. Language: English only.
  4. Submission format: PDF only, text-selectable (should not be flattened). Times New Roman font with size 12px suggested.
  5. One submission per student/team
  6. Max 2 pages of main content excluding bib. Cite references as needed.
  7. Submissions are reviewed by the initiative core team (novelty, creativity are some of the many filtering checks); decisions are final.
  8. Shortlisted articles will be featured in the Wayanad e-newsletter (with participant credits & certificates for all entries).
star If you previously participated in our events - LogicLooM or ML Challenges, you may write about your methods, findings or team experiences!
