Because this is an innovation competition, you can attach a creative appendix, which is not subject to the 2500 word limit. Your appendix can be in any format (video, powerpoint, or anything that suits you) but it must be directly related to your submission. Remember, though, that superfluous material may be detrimental.

Important considerations

Are you ready to submit your innovation? To be sure, read the rules and regulations. Also make sure you are aware of how the Challenge will be judged. If you need a little inspiration, check out the prizes.
