Contestants will give a 3-minute presentation on the topic of "Innovate...or else" using a randomly assigned 10-image slide deck. Judges will score each presentation out of 25 based on content, presenter poise, flow, audience response, and completing all slides. The winner will be the competitor closest to a total score of 100, with audience applause used as a tiebreaker. The overall winner receives bragging rights.
