Hello everyone, 

This is the IMSCC 2025 Organizing Committee.

We are pleased to announce the list of finalists and the Main Competition guidelines. Please check the attached list and announcement below.

Please note that some teams whose submitted files have not yet been fully cross-checked with their application forms, or teams that were previously omitted, may still be added to the list. However, the assigned participant numbers will remain unchanged.

If there are any errors in your team name, please contact us at admin@ngfsteam.org, and we will make the necessary corrections.

Barcodes for on-site registration will be distributed sequentially after the Chuseok holiday.

Thank you.
