Selection Criteria:
Novelty, Relevance, Feasibility, and appropriate use of Crowdsourcing:
- Novelty – your pitch should be about your idea. Describe a specific challenge you want to solve in your community rather than general problems.
- Relevance – your idea should deal with Climate Justice, helping the most vulnerable to climate change build resilience in their communities
- Feasibility – Be ambitious but realistic: your idea should be something that you could achieve with some help from a few like-minded people.
- Crowdsourcing – Explain how you will inspire larger numbers of people to get involved in helping you achieve your idea by either gathering data or taking collective action.
These selection criteria will be used at all stages of the Open17 Challenge, and in particular to select individual applicants for €100 prizes during Aug-Sept 2022, and to cover travel and accommodation for members of top teams that are invited to participate in the conference in Geneva in March 2023.
