The top three teams won Tk 50,000, Tk 30,000, and Tk 20,000. The other three finalists each received Tk5,000.

This year's competition consisted of three rounds: an initial submission round titled "Unleashing HR Brilliance," a semi-final round titled "Ignition," and the final round titled "Implications Unfold."
