The competition was attended by a total of 96 students, including 39 teams from Czech universities and another from the Technical University in Košice. Hall of the Year Akademik competition is dedicated to large-span structures, ie bridges that span a certain distance, which are very demanding in terms of design and construction, and their realisation and design require great deal of experience. Among other high demands on competitors, the specific building materials are required to be used. The competition model had to span an area of 1200 mm in length and 200 mm in height this year, its weight limit was 300 grams. The aim of the competition was to help undergraduates gain a sense of construction and its weaknesses while putting their idea together. During the load test, exact weights are put on the bridge one after another, until the structure collapses.
