Process
Pre-stage — VLDC will review all entries to check them for eligibility. Those that are eligible will be sent on to the judges.
Stage 1 — The judges individually consider the shortlisted entrants against the judging criteria using a scoring sheet.
Stage 2 — The judges come back together to combine scores and discuss highest scorers in order to pick the nine top submissions. These will be the winning entries to be invited to China for the award event.
Note: The selected submissions may not be spread equally across the categories and are not ranked. There is no overall winner.
Selected entrants
Winning submissions will be notified and requested to prepare a presentation for which templates and detailed presentation guidelines will be issued. Each presentation will occur at the Lux Futurum forum to be held in China.
