Neftaly Prototype / MVP

If Applicable, Participants Must Submit a Working Prototype or MVP (Minimum Viable Product)

To demonstrate the feasibility and functionality of proposed solutions, Neftaly requires all applicable participants to submit a working prototype or MVP (Minimum Viable Product) as part of their project submission. This practical demonstration showcases the real-world potential of the innovation and provides judges with evidence of its development stage.

???? What is a Prototype or MVP?

• A prototype is a physical or digital model that simulates the function, design, or interaction of the final product.
• An MVP is a simplified version of the product with enough features to be tested by users or demonstrate its core function.

---

⚙️ Applicable Project Types

Prototype or MVP submission is required for:

• Technology, hardware, or engineering projects
• Software, mobile app, or digital tool innovations
• Any solution involving physical devices, platforms, or tangible outputs

For conceptual projects, clear visual models or simulations may be accepted in place of a working unit.

✅ Submission Requirements

Participants must provide one or more of the following, depending on project type:

For Physical Prototypes:

• Photos of the prototype from different angles
• Demonstration video showing how it works
• Schematics or blueprints (optional but encouraged)
• Description of key materials and how it was built

For Digital/Software MVPs:

• Live demo link (web/mobile app, software dashboard, etc.)
• Executable file or download link (APK, EXE, etc.)
• Screenshots and system architecture diagrams
• GitHub or code repository (if open-source)

For Simulation-Based Models:

• Video walkthrough of simulation
• Model file or dataset
• Explanation of parameters and results

???? Format & File Guidelines

• File types: MP4 (video), PDF (visuals), ZIP (bundled files), URL (demo links)
• File size limit: 100MB per file
• Naming convention: [TeamName]_[ProjectTitle]_Prototype.zip
• Ensure all files are clearly labeled and accessible

---

???? Evaluation Criteria

Category	What Judges Will Assess
Functionality	Does the prototype/MVP demonstrate key features effectively?
Usability & Design	Is it easy to understand, use, or navigate?
Technical Soundness	Is it built with appropriate tools, methods, or coding practices?
Innovation & Impact	Does it successfully reflect the intended solution and benefits?

---

???? Best Practices

• Test your prototype thoroughly before submission
• Use captions or narration in videos to explain functionality
• If submitting an app, ensure the link is public or provide access credentials
• Clearly describe what’s functional vs. in development
