Three Public's Choice awards will be presented during the Final, corresponding to the three award categories.
The categories will be assigned by the jury to the finalists after the qualification stage.
Candidate rating and qualification
The qualification stage will allow the pitch and the idea/project presented to be scored, the finalists to be selected, and them to be assigned to one of the three award categories.
The jury may include both Audencia partners from the entrepreneurial ecosystem and members of Audencia teams based on the various campuses.
Its composition allows for a variety of perspectives on each pitch and project presented.
A scoring grid is established, common to all three prize categories.
It is based on several criteria (eloquence, clarity, potential, impact, etc.), allowing the pitch to be evaluated as a whole.
