This in an online video-submission competition and contestants will get feedback from expert judges on their proposals. We've made creating a video pitch easy (see step-by-step instructions below) and participates can choose whether to be visible, use voiceovers, or a mixture of both.Whether your idea solves a social challenge, introduces a new product, or reimagines technology, this is your opportunity to take your first step as a creator, innovator, entrepreneur, and leader.
