Individual Eligibility — Any current or recent student may register as
                        a competitor.
                        A current student is defined as a person of any age that is enrolled in a recognized academic
                        institution. A recent student would have been a current student until 3 years ago (July 5th,
                        2017).
                        An individual may be attached to an academic institution by being ever enrolled in it. A
                        recognized
                        institution is an accredited educational institution or an institution that may grant a degree
                        or
                        diploma. All institutions and competitors must be registered with the 
IBCOL Registrar
                            Office.
                    
 
                    
                        Team Eligibility — Projects are submitted by teams of one to six eligible competitors.
                        Each team
                        must nominate one representative academic institution, if any of the team members are from
                        different
                        academic institutions. This representative institution determines which country or territory the
                        team and thus project will represent. Teams may be composed of members from different
                        countries/territories or academic institutions. The CA-BCOL works with those declaring their
                        primary
                        institutions from the Canadian.
