Some final tips for submitting your idea:

  • AI: You’re welcome to use AI as a tool in developing your entry. Just remember that the focus should stay on the real-world problem you want to solve, your own ideas and how you articulate them, and the impact your solution could have on people or communities. The best entries show human-centred thinking, creativity and a clear understanding of how technology can help bring an idea to life.
  • Final working prototypes are not required. However, we encourage you to outline or expand on how your idea could be developed further.
  • Using simple, conversational language to explain your idea to the judges.
  • Please read the terms and conditions and privacy policy in detail before submitting you idea.
