The successful entry for the Challenge final will be those that best meet the following criteria:
- Quality of pitch: ability to sum up the project’s contribution to the objectives of the Challenge in some 100 words in terms that would arouse interest in a potential investor or implementer of the idea.
- Degree of innovation to enhance the Management and Response to Extreme Weather and Climate events. This is understood as including both disruptive and incremental innovations, in comparison with solutions already developed and implemented.
- Entries must be contestants’ original ideas. Contestants may propose new or improved ways to implement existing solutions, combine them, or adapt them to a different context or target group, but they may not be exact copies of those.
- Contestants must demonstrate the novelty of their solution, in comparison with those already developed/implemented by others in the context for which they are intended.
- The project board reserves the right to refuse any entry, to suspend or terminate the Challenge and to amend the present rules of contest at any time without prior notice.
