Shortly before the start of the competition, the club organized an online workshop with Dr. Millicent Young, a faculty member of the Communication Design Program, Fine and Applied Arts Division as resource person.
Dr. Young taught students some basic techniques on character design that they can use for the contest. Afterwards, the students were given a week to submit their entries.
