What is an unconventional way broadcasters and other local media could serve communities?

All you have to do is submit your idea. PILOT is looking for original ideas or concepts that answer the challenge question in a compelling way, but are not yet commercially available.

Key judging criteria will include:

- Originality (50%) – How original or unique is this idea? Has this already been tried?
- Desirability (15%) – How desirable is this idea? Is this an idea that is clearly needed or desired by someone specific? If it comes to fruition, would it be valuable to someone and is that someone clearly defined?
- Plan (35%) – How clear, logical and likely are the steps outlined in the submission to demonstrate the potential of the idea?

A variety of concepts will be considered including (but not limited to) the following:
- New products, services, or solutions
- Applied technology, devices, statistical methods, and algorithms
- Additive or incremental innovations with an original approach
