Project Ideas

Pitches

Here are the pitches - Organized Upcyclers, The Man Couchers, Home Is Where The Heart Is, Plush 4 Patience, C&E Certified.

 

 

These are all great ideas. Our generous panel of judges - Toby Portner, Thanh Apostolides, Frank Valenti, Karl Okemura and Casey Agena had valuable comments and suggestions for each group. They scored each of the groups according to this table:

 

( 1 = “I strongly disagree.”  |  2 = “I disagree.”  |  3 = “I’m not sure.”  |  4 = “I agree.”  |  5 = “I strongly agree.” )
For each statement circle the number that corresponds with your feeling.
