Frequently Asked Questions

What is your criteria for the 17 finalists?

These are the 4 guidelines we will be using as criteria to nominate our 17 finalists:

1 – Creativity and Innovation: Future Fighters who have produced creative and innovative content related to tasks. This will be measured by factors such as the originality of the content and caption, creativity, and social impact of the post. For Example, A very creative reels with best paddling location in a local area.


2- Degree of Engagement: Future Fighters who demonstrate a high level of engagement and commitment to the campaign. This will be measured by factors such as the frequency of activities completed, the number of social media posts made about the campaign, and the number of $BTIKI Coins earned. For Example, a future fighter joined most of the activities and earned the highest number $BTIKI Coins deserved to be recognized.


3- Impact of Actions: Future Fighters who have made a significant impact in their local communities through their actions beyond the outlined activities. This will be measured not limited to number of the followers but by the impact of initiatives such as the amount of waste removed from the environment, or the number of trees planted. For Example, a future fighter posted about him planting 10 seedlings of Pine Tree in his/her local community.


4- Leadership and Influence: Future Fighters who have demonstrated leadership and influence in promoting sustainable practices. This will be measured by factors such as the number of people inspired or motivated to act, the impact of their words or actions, and their ability to engage and mobilize others. For Example, a future fighter joined Justin’s Marathon Paddling Activity together with his 7 friends, or a Future Fighter who do beach cleanup with his friends.

Overall, these four criteria are the guidelines we will be using when selecting the most deserving nominees for the Future Fighters campaign. It is essential to recognize individuals who have gone above and beyond to promote sustainability and environmental conservation.
