The MYOB Digital Challenge (previously known as the IT Challenge) is a case competition that fuses technical knowledge and business analysis. The competition sees students addressing issues found in small to medium enterprises - driving real solutions for business problems throughout New Zealand and Australia.

In teams of 1-4, students will have one week to analyse and develop a conceptual idea for an app or a website regarding a given case. The preliminary round consists of a 5-10 minute video of the solution with a one-page executive summary. After submissions are reviewed by judges, the top three regional finalists in New Zealand and Australia will be selected to take part in the Trans-Tasman finals, presenting to leading industry judges.

The Trans-Tasman finals involve a 10-minute presentation followed by a 10-minute Q&A, held online. Teams are expected to create a basic prototype of their conceptual design to present to a panel of judges.

Participants will have the chance to win their share of the $8,500 prize pool, work with expert mentors from MYOB, and get feedback from industry leaders! This competition is also an excellent way for students to develop both their business and technical skills, and to consolidate presentation and teamwork abilities.
