The competition is open to ICE students, graduates, and apprentices—including those professionally qualified as IEng MICE or EngTech MICE and continuing their apprenticeship
Applicants submit and present their paper which may be on any topic related to civil engineering. The competition gives applicants an opportunity to highlight their technical expertise as well as showcase their communication skills.

They will present their papers online to the judging panel and online audience. Questions from the audience are encouraged.
