Judging Criteria
-
Creativity
This criteria measures how unique your solution is. A solution that has already been pursued in real life is likely to score lower than a novel idea on this criteria. -
Design
This criteria refers to the aesthetics of your project. If your project is very jumbled and hard to understand/access, it will score low on design. A exemplary project should utilize colors, interactives, and be easy to understand for a new user. -
Utility
This criteria measures whether or not your solution addresses the theme and how useful it would be to your target audience. A strong project in this criteria would have a clear target audience and significantly benefit their lifestyle.
