- During the 1st stage, teams of 3-4 students or individual students register*, and have to solve a social business case prepared by our intellectual partner.
- During the 2nd stage, teams have to create a low-budget marketing campaign for Lithuanian or international organizations and present them through short and unique videos.
- The last stage will take place on November 30th – December 3rd at ISM University of Management and Economics, where TOP 10 teams will be competing for the Grand Prize - 2000 euros and Turkish Airlines tickets to any country of their choosing.
