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

???? Need Technical Support or Review?

Neftaly’s Prototype Review Team can assist with testing, feedback, or submission formatting.
