September 17
Finally, after two and a half months of hard work, we had the opportunity to hear what solutions six teams of high school students came up with. It is an understatement to say that we were delighted with their ideas, and the jury found itself in a very awkward situation, and after much deliberation (and counting of the audience's votes), the situation is as follows:
First place won the team Triticum, the second is a teamCOFIfrom the Gymnasium in Inđija, a third place went to the team The Spice Girls.
Congratulations once again to all the teams and their mentors - a big BRAVO for persevering for so long and coming up with exceptional solutions!

Q&A
Who can apply?
If you are in high school (1st, 2nd, 3rd or 4th year), or have just graduated, you can register for SPREMMAthon.The competition is open to students from all over Serbia. Your mentor can be anyone who has finished high school, but we recommend that it be someone who is studying (an older friend, brother/sister), a teacher or someone who has been your mentor on other projects.
How many members should my team have?
Teams should havebetween 3 and 5members. If you're thinking about whether you should all be the same age and have the same interests - no way!
We encourage you to gather as diverse a team as possible, because that way you will learn the most from each other.
Is it a problem that I have never participated in a case study competition?
No, of course not. SPREMMAthon is designed so that you don't need any experience with competitions of this type.
Is participation in SPREMMAton free?
Absolutely!
Participation in SPREMMAthon is completely free for everyone, but, unfortunately, the SPREMMA Movement cannot cover travel expenses - if you are not from Belgrade and decide to participate in one of the activities live, we will not be able to refund your ticket.
Online participation in all events except the final will certainly be possible, but we invite you to attend the events live, if you are able.
Does the competition really last for two months?
Yes, we weren't kidding. We purposely designed SPREMMAthon to be different from other Case study competitions because you will have enough time to really dive deep into the problem and come up with truly innovative solutions. Don't let this discourage you - the task is big and complex, but we promise you that it will change the way you look at the world, you will have a lot of fun and learn a lot.
Will I then have time for other things during the summer?
Well, that's really up to you... You could spend the whole summer working on the assignment (we won't complain), but we've designed the contest so that you'll have plenty of time to work on the assignment, as well as whatever else you've got planned/- la.
However, don't think that this means that the task is easy!
