Eligibility to participate
All companies that act according to the basic principles of an honest businessman and thus neither illegal nor immoral and meet the criteria of a start-up are eligible to participate: The company must be in the development phase or early growth phase and have an innovative and growth-promising business model.
An entrepreneur can submit applications for several start-ups he (co-) founded.
Excluded from participation are companies that were founded or are managed by one or more members of the Public Value Award team (including the organization team & jury), as well as start-ups that have been the winners of the (EY) Public Value Awards for Start-ups counted.
Participation process
In order to nominate their own company, the participant must fill out the application form completely and truthfully. This is confirmed by the “Submit form” function at the end of the application form.
An independent jury will select the finalists from the applications that have been received in full at the time mentioned above. The finalists will be notified at least six weeks before the award ceremony.
The finalists are obliged to pitch a pitch at the award ceremony on October 14, 2021 in Leipzig.
This gives you another opportunity to convince the jury and the audience of the public value of your company in the pitch and the subsequent Q&A session. The jury selects the winners of the award on the basis of the five-dimensional Public Value Scorecard. These will be announced on the same day as part of the event.
Another prize is awarded based on an audience vote.
