2-4pm, Museum of Childhood, opposite our main venue at the Young Foundation.
By 2pm on Sunday 6th April, we’re hoping that your team will be ready to tell everyone who’s been at Social Innovation Camp (plus some extras) about what you’ve been up to all weekend.
This will be an informal presentation of your idea – we’ve made some suggestions about what we think you might want to talk about here. They’ll be a laptop and projector to demonstrate your tech of course.
Prizes
And, thanks to our sponsors, we also have some cash prizes.
We’ve got £1,000 for a runner up and £2,000 for a winner, to be chosen by our team of sponsors and supporters.
We realise this isn’t enough to make a serious dent in funding an early-stage start-up; think of it as more of a treat. It’s to be used by the people who are going to be taking the idea forward (and that may include people who weren’t at Social Innovation Camp or who didn’t work on the project all weekend) to help keep the momentum going after the weekend is over. Use it to pay for web hosting or travel to visit potential funders. Take the team away for a few to develop the idea further or maybe out for a good meal.
Minibar
But that’s not all. Both the winners and the runners up will be invited to come and present their idea at a future Minibar, run by one of Social Innovation Camp’s organizers, Christian Ahlert.
It’s an evening social event, bringing together loads of interesting types from London’s tech community to discuss web applications, start ups, social networking and general Web 2.0-related stuff. Each month, start-ups are invited to come and pitch their ideas to a crowd of interested developers, entrepreneurs, funders and others. It’s a great opportunity to launch on the London tech scene and an incentive to push the project forward after Social Innovation Camp. And we’ll want to hear how the team spent their prize money.
What the judges are looking for
Nothing new here - they're interested in what we set out right at the beginning of our call for ideas:
1.) That the project has the potential to create significant social change
2.) The technical solution is innovative, yet user-centric: it's a tool designed for anyone to use, not just the traditional tech community
3.) That the team presenting their project have demonstrated potential commitment to taking the idea forward
4.) That the project has a viable organisational or business model - it could be a social enterprise, charity, community interest company etc
