They can spend the time as they like until 16.00 when the participants would order an online driver as their ride home for the day. Hours passed until 16.00, and all of the participants are directed to go home with an online driver’s service. The participants then submit their best picture through Gmail where the best three pictures will be picked by the committee and receive their prizes.
