What exactly is a challenge?

In the First Round, you are invited to submit a short description of a breakthrough idea relevant to selected challenge theme. Only a title and a few paragraphs (up to 99 words) about your team’s idea will be available for public review – so, your team will have to use all of its creative juices and writing skills to get some ‘thumbs up’ from the Challenge:Future crowd. The expert judges, also weighing in on your team’s idea, will be able to see full text, drawings and images as well, so you have just a bit more freedom there.
In the Second Round, your challenge gets harder – those who make it to this semifinal round, will have to develop a longer description and a video solution to a new challenge. The same challenge will remain for the Third Round – the Finals, but the teams that make it to the finals will have to work on a business plan to bring the original idea closer to reality.
