An overview of the shortlisting criteria
We are looking for solutions that demonstrate innovative thinking and stand out from the rest. Judges' favourites are selected by our shortlisters and judges from our industry partners.
Our shortlisters are asked to:
- Provide constructive feedback via an optional comment box.
- Rate submissions based on the three things below.
1. Idea
How well does the solution address the problem?
Shortlisters are looking for an innovative and thoroughly developed solution addressing a clearly defined and researched problem.
2. Product
How well do the features and prototype bring the idea to life?
Shortlisters are looking for thoughtful and user-centered features and an excellent working prototype.
3. Overall project
How well presented and clear is the overall project?
Shortlisters are looking for projects that are professionally presented and clear throughout.
How to help students prepare their entry
