What is the Challenge ?
It is a challenge to encourage young people to propose solutions that contribute to building an environment free of "bites" (acts of bribery) where they live, study, and work. The proposals must be directly actionable by the teams proposing them, viable, scalable, and replicable.
Selection process
Objective : To select those proposals that have the greatest probability of achieving a broad impact (contribution) in building a Better Mexico without corruption. To do so, the following criteria will be taken into account.
Participant profile
Teams of young people (3 to 5 people) pursuing higher education studies at a public or private institution in the Mexican Republic.
Age limit for participation: 29 years.
To participate
The team leader must complete the following form:
Proposals with their completed form will go through an initial filter in which they will be reviewed to ensure they meet the basic requirements of the Challenge:
Focused. She seeks to solve the problem of bribery in her area.
Actionable. It can be carried out in the first person plural by the students themselves and their loved ones. (Not suggestions for others to carry out.)
Viable. The resources (human, material, financial) required for its execution and the possible ways to obtain them must be identified.
Scalable. They can impact a large number of people.
Replicable. That can be repeated in other areas.
In a second round of discussions, the Organizing Committee will evaluate the degree to which each proposal meets the stated requirements, considering the solidity of its theory of social change and innovation and the likelihood of achieving a high impact. The committee may request interviews with participants if it requires more information to clarify their proposals.
The committee will select between 12 and 20 proposals and inform those teams that they have advanced to the next stage. They will be asked to submit a video of up to two minutes and a presentation of their proposal.
These proposals will be evaluated by three bodies, who will vote on the best solutions.
1. General public. The proposal with the most votes will advance to the Boost stage.
2. National community. All participants in our national community will be able to vote on the proposals they would like to replicate in their communities. The two proposals with the most interest (votes) will move on to the Promotion stage.
3. Jury. The proposals will be presented in a live digital event before a jury. Each team will have a maximum of five minutes to present their proposals and answer questions. The Jury will select at least three proposals, with a total of six advancing to the Promotion stage.
