**Date:** Dec 3, 2025   
**Time Limit:** Each team has 5 minutes to pitch. This is a hard stop.   
**Q&amp;A:** After your pitch, judges will have a brief period for clarifying questions.   
**Judging:** Judges will be looking for a clear explanation of:

- The problem you’re addressing and why it matters.
- How your solution fits the market and stands out.
- The feasibility of your approach and the reasonableness of your ask.
- Your ability to communicate clearly and persuasively.

**Tip:** Keep it simple, focused, and engaging — the goal is to make your innovation easy to understand and compelling in a short time.
