For the initial entry, you will need the following

Information about you
Who you are, where you live/work/study, and how to contact you.

Images
Bring your project to life for us. Provide one hi-res photo or illustration that encapsulates the project. Images should be in a 16:9 landscape format and a minimum of 3000px wide.

A video
This is where you describe your project. Create a video, up to 4 minutes in length, answering these 4 questions:

• 1. What opportunity was the project addressing?
  2. Who were you designing for?
  3. What was the impact?
  4. What was the project’s design process?

We are not looking for high production quality or glossy marketing – tell us your story in the way you are best able. A great example of a video following this format was created and entered by a previous winning project, Konnekt.

Wondering what tools you might use to make a video? Look at Adobe Voice or Videolicious for easy examples of pulling something together.

Please provide the video with a 16:9 ratio in .MOV or . AVI video format. Please do not include any copyrighted music in your material.
