No. Never. The winners are revealed only at the Gala Dinner and ceremony. Nobody is ever told ahead of time.

No, the winners of the awards are decided by the jury independently of your attendance in Stockholm. Challenge Week is designed to enable you to spend time working and discussing with your peers, the other finalists, in a friendly, supportive and non-competitive atmosphere.
