Out of 522 ideas, 160 were chosen for the Shortlist
They were chosen because:
- They are new.
- They work well.
- They can grow so more people can benefit.
The Zero Project works with all kinds of groups and countries.
522 ideas from 90 countries applied for the award.
This is the most ever for "Employment and ICT".
The Zero Project Team and 80 experts spent over 100 hours choosing the Shortlist.
They looked at each idea carefully.
They chose 160 ideas from 61 countries.
In the next weeks, even more experts will work together. They will choose the final award winners.
From 160 ideas, they will choose around 70 for an award.
On December 3, the Zero Project will show the award winners.
