Can participants get a refund of the program fee if they decide not to participate?

Unfortunately, we do not provide refunds of the program fee if you decide not to participate after registering. The program fee contributes to administrative costs associated with the program and is non-refundable. However, you can use your registration to submit your work anytime before the submission deadline, so we encourage you to take your time to prepare your best work.
