Fechar It depends on the type of pitch you are answering. On an Innovation Pitch, a text file describing your idea will be enough (but you may include image or video files if they help to better understand your idea). On a Creative Pitch, check what kind of creative material and types of files were asked requested by the Idea Hunter: text (txt, doc, pdf), image (gif, png, tiff, jpeg, pdf), video (avi, mpeg, mov, wmv), sound (wav, mp3, wma), flash or html.

Fechar A Creative Pitch aims to get a materialized creative Idea (e.g.: a logo, a brand name, a press ad, a maquette of a viral film to be played online, a radio spot script, etc.). In these pitches, Idea Hunters look for creative Ideas ready to be implemented, both in visual and graphical terms. Even if you’re not a graphic software wizz, but if you truly believe in your Idea, try to describe it in detail, adding, if you like, some images that might help to visualize it. In these pitches there can be only one Winning Idea and you can win a minimum of 1.000 Euros.

Fechar Only users registered in Idea Hunting as Idea Creators have total access to the information of every pitch. The unregistered users may only see a brief description of the pitches. If you are registered, simply login and select a pitch by clicking on it in order to get all its information.

Fechar An Innovation Pitch aims to get ideas for products and services. In these pitches, Idea Hunters look for innovative Ideas that may improve their business – improving a product or a service they already have or even creating a new one. To answer these pitches, you should just describe your Idea. You do not have to produce a maquette or a layout. Nevertheless, you may enrich your idea by adding images (photos, illustrations, videos) that may help the Idea Hunter realize the potential of your Idea. The minimum Prize Money for each Winning Idea will be 250 Euros. In these pitches, the number of Winning Ideas may be 5, 10 or 15 ideas.
