For full competition details, please review our complete rules on diamondchallenge.org/competition.
1. All submission information must be submitted in English.
2. Pitch decks must be no more than 15 slides in length, with a recommendation of 10 slides. All pitch decks must be formatted as a pdf for each competition round. Participants can update their pitch decks prior to the pitching round and prior to the Diamond Challenge Summit.
3. To eliminate the potential for judging bias, teams will be assigned a submission number (also known as the Concept ID), which should be listed on the first slide of the pitch deck presentation. Participants must avoid listing or disclosing the names of the schools they represent in their pitch deck unless the school constitutes a critical element of their concept. Questions about whether the school constitutes disclosing the school name as a critical element of the concept should be directed to info@diamondchallenge.org prior to submission. Failure to abide by this non-disclosure rule will result in a significant point deduction from the team’s score.
