What the judges are looking for:
1. Hospitality-Focused: Is this truly a hospitality concept? Submissions must be rooted in hospitality, meaning they should encompass key aspects of the industry such as guest accommodations, F&B, amenities, or wellness experiences. Successful submissions will not only enhance the physical space but also consider operational efficiencies, technology integration, or sustainability initiatives that improve both guest satisfaction and business performance. Judges will be looking for ideas that truly belong in a hospitality setting and provide value beyond aesthetics.
2. Innovative: Does it push boundaries in the industry? Entries should introduce fresh ideas, whether through new technologies, creative business models, or reimagined guest experiences. The goal is to move hospitality forward in a meaningful way.
3. Impactful: How does it enhance hospitality? Judges are looking for concepts that elevate the guest experience or improve hotel operations, solving real industry challenges rather than just looking good on paper.
4. Feasible: Can this be implemented in the real world? Submissions should outline a clear path to execution, including key development steps. Ideas should be bold but achievable.
5. Visually Compelling: Does it communicate the idea effectively? A strong submission will include detailed sketches, renderings, or a 3D model that clearly illustrate the concept and its impact.
