Le Temps invites candidates to register online for the Prix SUD Start-Up Durable 2024 once and only once. To do so, the online registration form "Participate in the Prix SUD 2024" on the Decilio application must be completed. Entries are open from Monday 22 January to Wednesday 21 February at 6pm at the latest. A jury appointed by the editors of Le Temps will select three start-ups and notify them by e-mail. A video will then be produced for each of them. Le Temps will produce these videos with the three selected start-ups in March 2024 and broadcast them on its platforms. The three finalist start-ups authorise Le Temps to use, without compensation and without restriction, the videos and any images produced on its platforms. Candidates agree that their surname, first name, place of residence, age and the start-up's contact details may be published.

The voting phase to determine the winning start-up will take place in April 2024. Internet users and members of the jury will vote for the start-up that, in their opinion, meets the criteria for the Prix SUD Start-Up Durable 2024. The start-up receiving the most votes by the end of the voting phase becomes the winning start-up. Internet users are entitled to one vote. Each member of the jury is also entitled to one vote. In the event of a tie, the jury will decide between the winners. The winning start-up will be announced at the prize-giving ceremony on Thursday 23 May 2024.

Manipulated entries and multiple entries are excluded from the Prix SUD Start-Up Durable 2024. Each person may vote only once. Employees of Le Temps and partner companies, members of their families and members of the jury are excluded from participating in the Prix SUD Start-Up Durable 2024. No correspondence will be entered into concerning the Prix SUD Start-Up Durable 2024.

All legal recourse is excluded. Prizes are not convertible into cash.

All other data will remain strictly confidential within the limits of the SUD Prize.
