    Hi and welcome to the Simply Open Awards 2022.

    In your video, we would like you to answer the following 4 questions:

    1. Please tell us what your solution is
    2. Please explain to us how you made your solution
    3. Please show us how your solution works
    4. Please advise or show us whether anyone else uses the solution

    Important information about recording your video:

    • Your video can be up to a maximum of 2 minutes long. However, you do not need to use all of the 2 minutes.
    • You can record your video in multiple stages. Please do not upload more than four files. The four files must not exceed a total of 2 minutes. If they do, we will void your submission.
    • Please shoot the video in landscape mode (if possible)
    • The video must be focused on the solution and how it is or will enable a person with the disability or access need to overcome the barrier faced
    • Always shoot focusing on the person, avoid showing their back
    • Please record somewhere with adequate lighting with sufficient clarity
    • Ideally, record where there is a little background noise as possible.
