Quick access to proposals organized chronologically:

(Future years such as 2027/, 2028/, etc. will follow the same numerical sequence).

To organize proposals cleanly across multiple years and organizations, all submissions follow this nested structure:

<Year>/
└── <Organization Name>/
    ├── Accepted/
    │   └── <sub-org-name(if any)>_<project-topic>_<username>.pdf
    └── Rejected/ (optional for learning/comparison)
        └── <sub-org-name(if any)>_<project-topic>_<username>.pdf
