Project and Submission Requirements

Your project must demonstrate the novel creation of a specialized system, specifically made to solve the problem that you've identified in previous steps. Submissions should demonstrate this use in at least a demonstrative capacity. For Ideathon participants, your ideas must be demonstrated to be a potential solution in idea form, contextualized by potential challenges and benefits. 

Prizes

Prize money amounts are currently TBD! Please stay tuned!

Judging Criteria and Winner Selection

Impact of your projects should be:

1. New or innovative. No other solution should demonstrate the same solution as it is implemented or demonstrated in your project.

2. Impact. Your project should demonstrate a significant potential impact on other people's lives, as identified by the purpose of your project as stated in your submission.

3. Usable in a range of contexts. Your idea must feasibly be seen as usable in cases where any person can access its functions independently of their context with your creation.
