Judging Criteria

  • Completeness and transferability
    How fully is the idea implemented? Can it achieve an impact in the field? Can it be transferred elsewhere? The judges are looking for an application that could make a difference in dangerous situations and can be used multiple times.
  • Effectiveness and efficiency
    Does the solution address a high priority area? Does it achieve its goal effectively and efficiently? Can it scale? This should address a problem that has been quantified and then have an impact.
  • Design and usability
    How good is the design, user experience, and ease of use of the solution? How quickly can it be utilized in a community or society?
  • Creativity and innovation
    How unique is the approach to solving a long-standing or previously intractable problem? This doesn’t need to be completely original.
