So, How does it works?
Every month, the top 5 clubs in the Club Monthly Rankings compete in two rounds
Each month the ranking is reset to allow all competing clubs to participate
Round 1 : the Video Pitch
Round 2 : the Pitch Battle
You will be invited to produce a video and to pitch, on a specific topic, in front of the jury of the Next Challenge #2
Round 1 : Vidéo Pitch
● The first 5 clubs in the monthly ranking will be asked to submit a 3-minute video on a specific topic.
● The Jury ranks them and then invites the 3 best clubs to pitch in front of them.
Some guidelines:
Based on the Elevator Pitch principle: you get into an elevator with an investor and you must have raised his interest before leaving the elevator. You must be able to convince in less than 3 minutes!
Creativity, marketing, speech skills and coherence are the criteria that will be judged!
