Shell Ideas360 is more than a global competition that connects students
to develop ideas to tackle the pressures on the world’s Food, Water and
Energy resources. It’s an exciting journey of learning and discovery.
Collaborate with like-minded innovators, Shell experts and mentors to
expand your horizons.
Our team of experts read and review every idea. They need to be able
to assess the strength of each idea and consider how well the submission
answers the following questions. To help you, we’ve included some
guidance of what you will need to consider.
Novel: How novel or original is the idea?
Your answer should include: What existing idea could you be compared
to and why is your idea different? Why is your idea innovative?
Doable: How easy is it to achieve the idea?
Think about How do-able, achieveable or feasible is this idea? What
are the obstacles; be realistic and what would you need to deliver this.
Value: What benefits (business/social/etc.) would the idea deliver? What is the potential value of this idea?
Consider the wider value whether its financial, political, social or
technology etc. And don’t try and sell this to Shell. This isn’t about
Shell, this is about the idea.
Relevance: How relevant is the idea to the Food/Energy/Water topic?
Many of the ideas touch more than one of the topics, so please
consider this in your answer. The greater the relevance, the greater the
impact.
Image
A picture can tell a thousand words, so this year, our reviewers have
asked for the image to ‘represent’ your idea. You can be creative as
you like, but remember, this could make or break your entry. A diagram
or drawing of your idea, well illustrated, may be a lot easier to
understand than trying to explain your idea in a few hundred words.
