Participant evaluation :

First, the proofreaders, made up of university professors, lawyers and journalists, will carefully examine the participants' papers before establishing a shortlist.

Secondly, those pre-selected will have to pass an oral interview in order to explain the reasons for choosing the subject and defend their arguments. This approach will lead to the selection of winners in the different categories for the award ceremony scheduled for December 7, 2023 according to the competition activities calendar.
