Criteria
Weighting
1. Creativity - 50 points
2. Realistic - 25 points
3. Logical & Structured - 25 points
Total Score (Maximum 100) - 100
Each Submission will be given a score (the “Score”) out of 100 by the panel of judges. In the event there is a tie between two or more Submissions, the Submission (from amongst all such tied Submissions) with the highest score under Criteria 1 will be given priority. In the event there is still a tie between two or more Submissions based on the score for Criteria 1, the Submission (from amongst all such tied Submissions) with the highest score under Criteria 2 will be given priority. In the event there is still a tie between two or more Submissions based on the score for Criteria 2, the Submission (from amongst all such tied Submissions) with the highest score under Criteria 3 will be given priority.
The participant with the highest Score will be eligible to win the First Place Prize; the participant with the second highest Score will be eligible to win the Second Place Prize; the participant with the third highest Score will be eligible to win the Third Place Prize.
