The tournament is open to all individuals and groups from around the world who wish to submit a solution for consideration.

In the 2012 competition, there were over 100 entrants from the Middle East & North Africa. Of those entries, a group of 12 semi-finalists were chosen to travel to Abu Dhabi to present their innovations and designs to a distinguished panel of judges. Seven finalists were chosen to compete for significant prize money and a chance to have their design scouted by interested venture capitalists and investors.

This year, submissions will be reviewed by a panel of experts including key members of Wharton faculty, the Knowledge@Wharton team, and faculty from the Higher Colleges of Technology. Finalists will be invited to present their solutions at a final event at the Higher Colleges of Technology in the UAE. Each finalist will be allotted time to present their solutions to the judges during the live event to compete for prizes. Finalists must be present at the finals event to be considered for the top awards.
