The culmination of the event will see teams pitch and present their ideas to the Judging Panel and the rest of the groups. The most viable solution will be awarded during the closing ceremony with other recognition for other outstanding contributions. Winners will also be granted automatic entry to http://www.futurewaterassociation.com/water dragons 2017 with the opportunity to pitch the winning idea on the 4th December to a panel of experts.
