A good abstract allows the reader to decide whether or not to read through the text of the paper.

In this way, the abstract must clearly describe the solution to the problem and clearly express the most important conclusions of the paper.

The abstract should stimulate the reader's interest in the details of the paper.

Abstracts that simply repeat the competition title and copy and paste the boilerplate from the introduction will generally be considered uncompetitive.
