• Participants must have and provide a valid bank account in their name.
• Each idea submission must be linked to one of the EIT Food missions and must cover each of these areas.

Judging Criteria

All entries will be judged on the quality of the submission in each of the four sections of the course as well as on the fit with the overall objectives of the chosen mission (see EIT Food Mission Insight Reports). The decision of the judges is final and binding.
