Top tip: We will be using criteria based on a number of things to do with your idea. Such as the clarity of your idea, whether it is unique and how different it is in the market. We still want you to be creative when putting together your video and we will be judging you on how clear your message is, however, our focus will be on what your idea is and how you present it.
