Firstly, commendations from all of us here at AAPG Asia Pacific for all the hard work put in by all the 8 Schools.

The Presentations put forward by all the schools reflected the effort put in. Well done, Everyone.

The WINNER for the 2011 IBA Asia Pacific competition is Chulalongkorn University, Thailand who will represent the Asia Pacific Region at the 2011 AAPG Annual Convention & Exhibition in Houston, Texas, 9 April 2011. We wish them all the very best and we know they will do us proud.
