- All the material you plan to exhibit needs to be submitted digitally. Gather these documents into one pdf file.

Binders 1-2 and the appendix can be printed after the digital submission as long as the printed version is the same as the digital submission. For all other books and booklets, these should be submitted with the models. 

Submitting physical models

If your project consists of one or more models, they must be submitted within the deadline. The models will be kept safe in storage until you mount your exhibition. All parts of your model must be marked with a label with your name and telephone number during storage. You confirm your submission by signing the submission list provided by Academic Services.
