Worth checking yourself

!Canada-only eligibility (youth living in Canada), so not a global record
!akfc.ca serves a Cloudflare bot challenge to automated fetchers: agent-browser, curl and WebFetch all got 403 or a challenge page, and the page was verified through a real Chrome browser pane instead. The platform's automated link-health and banner fetchers may need an exception or manual handling for this record
!AKFC is a LOT client/partner; noting for the judge so featuring decisions are made with that disclosed
!No honorarium stated for presenters

What we could not confirm

?Whether presenters receive an honorarium (nothing is stated; benefits listed are platform, skills and recognition)
