To win the $50,000 prize, Live Cycle Delight had to advance to the semi-finalist round in which this year’s 170 entries were narrowed to the top 10. Public voting narrowed the competition down to four finalists followed by a second round of public voting to help determine the winner. The four finalists gave their final pitch in front of a panel of judges and an audience of their peers during the Hatch Off event. Live Cycle Delight was selected based on the public vote and jury deliberations.
