A fictional community host invites startups, students and residents to propose practical solutions that divert waste from landfill.

01 · The problem

Township waste streams overwhelm landfill and harm health.

02 · IP & confidentiality

Illustrative only: no licence is created. A live host must publish pilot scope, duration, exclusivity, sublicensing and terms for unsuccessful entries.

03 · Judging

  • Feasibility
  • Local impact
  • Cost to run
  • Scalability

Risk & evidence requirements

An entry does not guarantee selection, a prize or a pilot. Read eligibility, scoring, funded prize terms and IP/confidentiality rules before disclosing an idea.

This example has no independently verified supporting evidence, enforceable prize rules, product warranty or receipt approval.

  • Full judging rules & panel: Specify weights totalling 100%, named panel or appointment method, conflicts, tie-breaks, appeal process and eligibility checks.
  • Prize funding, dates & cancellation: Evidence of funding; winner notification, payment date and conditions; cancellation and no qualifying winner rules.
  • Submission, IP & pilot licence scope: Define ownership, unsuccessful entries, public disclosure, pilot scope, duration, exclusivity, sublicensing, termination and signed confidentiality agreements.
