As it was previously announced, April the 30th at midnight was the deadline for sending applications for students who would like to become participants of ISWIB 2009. To our great pleasure, the conclusive number of the overall applications, arrived until the deadline, reached over 600. Bearing in mind the fact that this year’s ISWIB will host 200 students, number, and the quality of received application forms indicate of exceptionally sharp competition. Because of the stated number of high-quality applications which we are considering, and also because we wish to select the participants with the best references based on their application forms, thereby bringing up the festival to a higher level, ISWIB’s organizational team will announce the results of their selection in mid May. We would like to thank everybody for showing great interest and suggested trust which we will, almost certainly, vindicate.
