Judging Criteria

• Evaluation will take place in two parts.
  • 1. Judges will evaluate the written plans prior to the competition.
  • 2. Judges will again evaluate plans based on the oral presentation by each team.
• The final decision will be based on the judges' qualitative evaluation and consultations with each other during their deliberation session following the presentations.
• Judges will ultimately consider the entire business concept looking at overall feasibility, combined with significant capital gains potential, attractive investment possibilities and actual implementation.
• Each team will have the opportunity to meet in private with their judging panel after semi-final presentations for a "feedback session". This session is informal and is not part of the actual judging process.
