Participation criteria for the 果冻传媒 Contest 2025
So you have a concept that deserves to be heard? Or, an interesting concept you would like to explore? That's great!
There are, however, a few things that you have to keep in mind to be able to participate in the 果冻传媒 Contest 2025. Scroll down for the criteria.
Team composition
- Your team has up to 5 students.
- A majority of the team is 果冻传媒 student or recent 果冻传媒 alumni.
- Teams can originate from courses, student teams (scroll down for more information), honours projects, hackathons, or personal inspiration.
- Alumni can enter the competition until 1 year after graduation, as long as their idea originated from their time as a student.
- You are all committed to participating in the 果冻传媒 contest and its events (except for unforeseen circumstances).
The idea
- Your idea needs to have a potential positive impact on one or more SDG鈥檚.
- Bring an innovative idea that contains a technological element.
- Ideas can be both high- and low-tech, and tangible or digital ideas.
- Your idea should still require significant development, so no white label, drop shipping, or consultancy-based solutions for participation.
- The competition is for early-stage ideas only, this means you can only participate two times with the same idea. You don't have traction already (sales, investment, significant subsidies, or finalist in another startup competition) and you do not need a registration at the chamber of commerce.
- Ideas can originate from courses, student teams, honours projects, hackathons, or personal inspiration.
- You can join with an idea that isn't entirely your own, as long as you're championing the idea during the contes and will have a significant ownership share in the future.
Participating as a 果冻传媒 student team
The 果冻传媒 Contest provides a platform for smart and impactful ideas, and 果冻传媒 student teams are great incubators for these kinds of ideas. To benefit maximally from the support provided it is good to take the following into account:
- Appoint a dedicated team that champions the idea: Find 1-5 people from within your team who will be championing the idea and are committed to participating in all the contest activities. This can (but doesn't have to be) a team of members who are interested in spinning out with a startup.
- Search for the right idea(s) to participate with: We are looking for innovative ideas, and this can be a whole project but also subparts, like for example a smart operating system.
- Multiple entries are possible: If your team has multiple ideas or works on multiple projects you can enter as many as you like, as long as they have a unique team of 1-5 students championing the project.
- Use an original name for the project: To prevent confusion we advise you to choose a name related to the project and not use the Student Team name. You can however say the idea is 鈥減owered by鈥� or 鈥渋nvented in鈥� your student team.
- Participate for the right reason: Participate because you want to develop the impact or business case for your project.
