1. Check your eligibility
A participant must be currently enrolled in a high (secondary) school and be between 14 and 19 years old on the day of the competition. Each team should consist of up to 8 eligible students, with a minimum of 3 students.
2. Understand the selection system
Participation in the GYEC is limited to a maximum of 3 teams per country. Therefore, if you are NOT from Japan, Indonesia, Malaysia, Mongolia or Turkey, you must participate in the Preliminary Round on April 13, 2024. This round serves as the national competition to select 3 representative teams for each country.
Only one team from each high school can represent their country. If multiple teams from the same school apply, they will be narrowed down to one team during the domestic or world preliminary rounds.

3. Confirm the competition rules
All teams must arrange a suitable venue for participating in the online challenge. The venue must have reliable internet access and email capabilities. We recommend that team members gather in the same location and work together; however, if this is not feasible, you are allowed to connect and work together online using a remote conferencing application.

After that, you should begin working as a team and submit a business plan and the YouTube URL of your presentation video by the deadline. It's important to note that these submissions must adhere to the GYEC rules and guidelines, which also apply to the Preliminary Round.
