            How to participate

            To participate, we'll ask you to make a video of minimum 1,5 minutes, where you explain your work in your own language, show how you use your CNC machine for a particular project, and show the final result of what you're doing with the machine. We'll also ask you a few pictures of your realization to put it forward if you win.

            All video and technical details will be available when your register, as well as some free resources to help you realize your video if you have no prior experience.
