Take the judges' seat

Score along with the judges.

As each finalist pitches, give them a 1 to 10 score on their positioning graphic, unique insight, and brand pitch. You'll see your own Top 3 at the end, and any comments you leave go straight to the speakers. Fun, educational, and your feedback genuinely helps them grow.

Open the Scorecard

Tonight's format

What the judges are scoring.

Three categories add up to 100 points. Here's the exact rubric the judges work from as each finalist pitches.

    Is it immediately clear who they help, how, and why it matters?

  • Credibility & Authority 10

    Do we believe them right away? Is there evidence of real expertise or lived experience?

  • Overall Design & Aesthetic 10

    Clean, professional, cohesive. Easy to read and visually balanced.

Unique Insight

/ 30
  • Strength of Insight 10

    Is this a sharp, original idea, or something we've heard before?

  • Relevance to Positioning 10

    Does it support and deepen their positioning?

  • Impact and Memorability 10

    Does it make us pause, think, or see something differently?

Brand Pitch

/ 40
  • Intro Story & Their Why 10

    Did they draw us in and create connection right away? Quality of storytelling.

  • Message and Structure 10

    Clear flow: story to credibility to positioning to offer.

  • Overall Impact 10
