For the best conference paper award, the paper must be presented by one of the co-authors on-site, and is expected that the presented work be original.
For the best student paper award, the authors should indicate that their paper is submitted for the student paper competition during the paper submission process. To qualify, the student must resister and be the presenter. Co-authors to the paper can be their supervisor and/or co-supervisors (up to three exclusive of the student).
