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.
