Successful ideas will be based on;
- Innovation-we are looking for ideas that have never been tried before. Explain to us how your approach is different from things that have been tried in the past.
- Importance-to be interested in your solution, Echoing Green must first understand why the issue your project will tackle is imperative. Explain to us the problem you want to solve and why it matters. On a global scale, why is this issue important?
- Potential for Big, Bold Impact-show us how your project will directly impact many lives or change a big system. Or, will your solution set an important example that it will have bold impact indirectly? Some models are so innovative and influential that they change big systems by being replicated by others.
