Judging Criteria

The Young Entrepreneur X Factor is a storifying competition, and we would like to find out what your idea is for a product, service or business that will help solve a problem.

For both the Tweens and Teens categories, judges will assess the participants' pitches according to three main criteria. They will award holistic scores across these criteria for each podcast. Different criteria will carry different weightings.

Criteria

The three main areas that judges will base their scores on are:
  1. The X Factor 
  2. Content & Idea Viability
  3. Presentation
​

1. The X Factor

Judges will base scores on questions such as:
  • How do you carry yourself in front of the judges and competitors?
  • ​Are you confident of your creative or innovative idea?​
  • Are you able to keep the level of energy and excitement up? 
  • Did the judges enjoy the interaction with you?
  • Did the judges want to keep listening? 
  • What's the engagement level you have with others?
  • Do you demonstrate willingness to learn and desire to excel?
  • How likely are the judges to introduce you to pitch to other people?  

2. Content - Idea, Product or Business Viabiliity

Judges will base scores on questions such as:
  • Who and what are the obstacles you face?
  • Who are the people you are trying to help?
  • Why would people want to use your product or service?
  • What makes your idea unique compared to others and what you can find?
  • Are people willing to pay for the product or service?
  • What might be the positive impact your product will generate?​

3. Presentation

Judges will base scores on questions such as:
  • Do you grab the audience’s attention?
  • Is your idea clearly presented?
  • Do you storify your idea within the time limit?

Grand Finals Judging Criteria

There are two components to the final score for the participants who make it to the Grand Finals. The finalist with the highest score wins the Young Entrepreneur X Factor. 

The two components are:

1. The Judges' Score
2. The People's Choice

The Judges will use the same judging criteria as described earlier. This will make up 50% of the final score.

 The People's Choice - 50%
