Judges
and Judging Criteria

Our review
process

Our team of
experts reads and reviews every idea. They need to be able to assess the
strength of each idea and consider how well the submission answers the
following questions. To help you, we’ve included some guidance of what you will
need to consider.

Novel:
How novel or original is the idea?

Your answer should
include: What existing idea could you be compared to and why is your idea
different? Why is your idea innovative?

Doable:
How easy is it to achieve the idea?

Think about How
do-able, achievable or feasible is this idea? What are the obstacles; be
realistic and what would you need to deliver this.

Value:
What benefits (business/social/etc.) would the idea deliver? What is the
potential value of this idea?

Consider the wider
value whether its financial, political, social or technology etc. And don’t try
and sell this to Shell. This isn’t about Shell, this is about the idea.

Relevance:
How relevant is the idea of the Food/Energy/Water topic?

Many of the ideas
touch more than one of the topics, so please consider this in your answer. The
greater the relevance, the greater the impact.

Image

A picture can tell a
thousand words, so this year, our reviewers have asked for the image to
‘represent’ your idea. You can be creative as you like, but remember, this could
make or break your entry. A diagram or drawing of your idea, well illustrated,
may be a lot easier to understand than trying to explain your idea in a few
hundred words.
