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
