For those of you who make it to the Winner’s Podium, you will have your trophies and prizes presented to you at a formal, Saturday evening, awards banquet where your efforts and dedication will be truly recognized.
After a hard day’s work and an evening of dancing following the awards banquet, you will be accommodated in the modern College Residence.
