How submissions are judged.
Innovation
Originality of the idea and novelty of approach. Does this solution tackle the problem in a way that hasn't been done before?
Technical Execution
Code quality, system architecture, and complexity of implementation. A working product beats a polished slide deck every time.
Real-world Impact
Does the solution address a genuine problem? Can it be realistically deployed or scaled? Impact matters more than clever features.
User Experience
Usability, accessibility, and design thinking. A technically sound solution that nobody can use is an incomplete solution.
Presentation
Clarity of pitch, demo quality and communication. A great solution poorly explained is a missed opportunity.
Team Collaboration
Effective teamwork and distribution of responsibilities, including how each member contributed during the build.
What QNH produces.
Last edition in numbers — reported the same way we report every programme.
Over 10,000 students reached and 1,000 registrations from a single national programme.
The campus ambassador network activated first, validating reach across 1,000+ colleges. Every registration came from a trusted channel — no cold blasts, no scraped databases.
JOIN THE 2027 EDITION →QNH gave us a real problem to solve, not a toy dataset. Building under time pressure and getting actual feedback from judges changed how I approach every project now.
The ambassador programme meant students heard about QNH from people they trusted, not from ads. Our college had the highest sign-up rate in the region.
We had three days to build a working fintech prototype. We shipped it. The internship offer on top of that made it the best weekend we had in college.
