Moderation Rules for Create and Compete – Elevator Pitch

Imagine a platform where creativity meets competition—this is the essence of our project. Under the theme of Create and Compete, we’re designing a space where participants can pitch creative ideas, whether for inventions, stories, apps, or business ventures. The twist? These ideas are sparked by random prompts, pushing users to think outside the box.

Once an idea is pitched, the real fun begins. Other participants engage with the pitch by challenging it with insightful questions, offering constructive feedback, and suggesting improvements. The focus here isn’t just on competing to create the best idea but also on fostering collaboration and creativity. Participants learn from one another, pushing the boundaries of their original concepts to create something even more innovative.

Whether you’re a writer, designer, entrepreneur, or problem-solver, this platform encourages you to compete by creating and evolving by collaborating.
