cases. All published cases will be reviewed in an initial screening and will become part of the Hot Mommas Project
Case Library. Those cases meeting the criteria below will proceed to final judging. Cases will be scored by our judging
panel. Cases will be judged on the quality of:
a. Business or professional issue set forth in case
b. Personal or family issue set forth in case
c. Background section, including “aha” moment
d. Formatting, grammar, spelling, and adherence to word limit
e. Discussion questions & answers
