Participants ICTalent Awards 2016 are known

After two suspenseful preliminaries, the participants of the ICTalent Awards 2016 are known. A total of 26 students has been selected, spread over 7 groups: from 1st to 4th year students from various study routes. In the preliminaries, students had to pitch their ideas within 2 minutes' time in front of an expert jury. This pitch was subsequently evaluated on four criteria: persuasiveness, authenticity, distinctive features and innovative thrust. Next to that, every participant needs to have a working prototype at the day that the event takes place (25 May 2016).

ICTalent Awards

ICTalent Awards is the competitive showcase of Fontys Hogeschool ICT! Students from all study programs are being given the chance to show their best work to teachers, media, Partners in Education, fellow-students, friends and family. By means of pitches, students have to convince the audience and gather as many votes as possible for their product. Do they succeed? In that case they will come face to face in the finale in front of an expert jury. The winner will take the ICTalent Award home and receives a cheque worth of 2000 euro. Additionally there are the Public Prize, the Viral Award 2016 and the entrepreneurship award.
