New Demos Criteria

As, and if, we progress with New Demos, this criteria can be refined to best suit the needs and interests of Toronto's technocreative community:

Innovation and Creativity

• Demonstrates originality and novel approach to applying or using technology.
• Encourages thinking outside the box and running your own experiments.

Technical Execution

• Clear understanding and skillful use of technology, whether in creating something new or applying technology in a novel way.
• Includes functional prototype or demonstrated experiment.

Relevance & Exploration

• Projects relevant to interests and needs of Toronto's technocreative community are encouraged. However, we also welcome work that pushes boundaries or explores new concepts, even if not directly tied to current trends or immediate applications.
• Submissions that add value through unique perspectives, challenge assumptions, or offer exploratory insights into potential future are encouraged.

Presentation Quality

• Ability to communicate the idea clearly and effectively, and within established time limits.
• Visual and/or practical demonstration components are required.

Diversity

• Demos represent a diverse range of voices, backgrounds and ideas.
