On the afternoon of Sunday, 8 October (see schedule section for further details) all teams will present their final solutions to a panel of judges. Team solutions will be assessed on 5 areas:

1. Originality + creativity (30 points)
2. Appropriate use of blockchain (20 points)
3. Prototype quality (20 points)
4. Impact + sustainability (20 points)
5. Presentation (10 points)

Team presentations are restricted to 5 minutes, followed by 5 minutes Q & A with the judging panel. How you deliver your pitch is entirely up to you and your team e.g. you may decide that 1 or 2 team members shall present the solution or alternatively every team member will play a part. A projector (connect using VGA, no HDMI) and microphone will be available to use. In preparation for and/or during your presentation, you may wish to explore some or all of the following points, amongst others:

• The problem you are trying to solve
• Why this problem is significant and needs solving
• What your solution does and how it works as demonstrated
• The relevance and benefits of using blockchain (distributed ledger technology) in your solution
• Why your solution is viable and sustainable (commercially and practically)
• How your solution differs from any existing solutions

We suggest that in your presentation opening slides, you include your team name, team members’ names and identify the challenge you undertook i.e. legal, financial, health or civic/ security and the specific challenge under the category chosen. It’s also a good idea to rehearse your presentation!

Once all teams have presented their solution, the judges will deliberate for a short period before announcing the winners. The judges’ decision is final and not subject to appeal.
