General Rules for Competitions

• A team must consist of 2-4 students. Some additional consideration will be given to teams that include at least one first- or second-year undergraduate student. Help us develop the next generation of IS and data professionals.
• Students can participate in multiple competitions but cannot be finalists in multiple competitions. If a student is a finalist in more than one competition, the student must choose which one to compete in at the finals held at SCLC 2025 at the University of Alabama in March 2025.
