3. Guidelines & Judging Process

Guidelines:-

  • Catalyst teams will be Judged based on 3 aspects:-
    • Awards Submission Forms : Teams fill in a Awards submission form (goes live in April & May) sharing the Award categories they wish to compete, along with the rationale or proof points backing their submissions. Awards submission forms will be accessible through an awardforce platform. Each Catalyst team will be allocated a common Username and Password to access the Awards portal and for submitting their Awards Submission Forms. Judges will be reviewing this pre-event. 
    • Catalyst project Webpages: Each Catalyst project is given a webpage to maintain with their resources / documents / videos etc detailing about their project. This webpage is public facing, so kindly ensure it is updated with all the requisite information. Judges will be reviewing this pre-event.
