Theme: Doomed to Succeed; The Impetus of the Underdog.

This year’s theme: "Doomed to Succeed; The Impetis of the Underdog" will focus on the characteristics used to define the concept of the underdog. We will identify and compare their humble origins, lack of resources, and determined struggle against the odds. We will identify two essential dimensions of an underdog biography: external disadvantage, and passion and determination.
