How It Works?
How a Competition Works?
We start by creating a clear, tailored brief with the client that outlines the project goals. The competition is then launched and promoted worldwide to attract a diverse group of creatives. Participants submit their proposals online within a set timeframe. A selected jury of experts reviews all entries based on creativity, relevance, and feasibility. Winners and finalists are announced publicly, often leading to further development and real-world implementation.
This process not only generates innovative solutions but also builds lasting value and visibility for your project.
