After an elaborate judging process during the last two weeks, a prestigious panel of experts from all over the world has selected winners from among nearly 1,000 entries in 31 countries. Judges included Stanford University representatives, faculty from other universities, venture capitalists, entrepreneurs and senior executives from companies such as Intuit, Deloitte, and Logitech.
Judges spent a considerable amount of time watching, analyzing, and discussing each entry. They were very impressed by the range of approaches and ideas behind the submissions. It was very difficult to narrow the list of winners, and there are many teams who didn’t win but who should still be exceedingly proud of their projects.  The judges selected 300 candidates for global judging, 100 semi-finalists and 39 finalists, before deciding on the 22 winners.
The judges evaluated innovation and novelty of the idea; how fun it was; creativity of both the approach to the idea and the presentation itself; whether the team implemented the idea in some way and had impact; and how clear and compelling the presentation content was.  In some cases, the judges rewarded teams with less-than-practical ideas that were particularly creative or presented in an exceptionally entertaining manner.
Global winners will receive recognition on the tournament website and a certificate of achievement from the Stanford Technology Ventures Program.
