Our judges will evaluate your pitch on the following criteria from a scale of 1 to 5:

Level of Innovation: Originality of the idea
Potential: Longevity, actualisation and profitability
Team: Core members and how they aim to make your startup successful
Functionality: Ease of usability
Goodness: Impact of your product on social, cultural and/or environmental issues

Video Entry

All applicants must submit a URL to their video application. Below are the guidelines:

Video must be a maximum of 3 minutes
Video must be uploaded to YouTube or Vimeo
Video files are not accepted, only share URLs to videos hosted on a YouTube or Vimeo channel
Video does not need to be animated nor require any significant production value – a good-quality camera on a mobile phone is sufficient: it can be a ‘selfie-style’ video with one or several team member(s) addressing the guiding questions.

Fight For The Crown

Practice your pitch well ‘cause the stakes are high. Besides cash winnings, you definitely will draw the attention of big-ticket investors, multinational corporation heads, government chiefs and media in attendance.
