Yes, it is mandatory for all models to be maximum 50 x 50 x 50 cm. Keep in mind that the model does not need to be functioning, but rather a representation of the different aspects of your innovation.
Participation
Digital models such as apps, websites, 3D rendered, etc. are permitted. However, you must bring your own device to showcase your digital innovation to the judges.
