Yes, we will be offering awards! In each committee, there will be one best delegate award and two honorable mention awards. Due to the online nature of the conference, it would be difficult to send physical plaques and medals to the award recipients, but we do plan to send out printable PDFs to the recipients.

Additionally, all participants will receive a certificate of participation at the end of the conference.
