- 03
Solve
Design a credible solution to the problem you investigated and map how it creates change.
- 04
Campaign
Build a marketing and behaviour-change campaign that moves people to act on your solution.
- 05
Judged
Submit your entry for independent, blind scoring by a panel of expert judges.
Fair by design
Every entry gets an honest read.
The judging rules are built into the platform, not left to good intentions.
Conflict-of-interest declared
Every judge declares conflicts before they see an entry.
Blind, independent scoring
Judges only see their assigned entries — never peer scores.
Locked scores
Once a score is submitted it's locked, not quietly revised.
FAQ
Questions,answered.
Everything you need to know before you register your team.
Who can take part?
Students at a participating institution. You'll verify your student register number when you sign up, which links you to your institution.
Do I need a team?
Yes — entries are submitted by teams. Once you're registered you can create a team and invite classmates by their register number.
What do we actually submit?
Your three completed canvases — Investigation, Solution, and Marketing & Behaviour — plus your campaign work. Videos are shared as YouTube or Vimeo links rather than uploaded.
How is judging kept fair?
Each judge declares any conflicts of interest, sees only the entries assigned to them, and scores independently without seeing other judges' scores.
Will I get a certificate?
Yes. Certificates are issued once results are published, and each one carries a code anyone can use to verify it.
