About the Innovator’s Challenge

Your challenge is to create as much 'value' as possible using an assigned everyday object unveiled at the Entrepreneurs Week Opening Ceremony on Friday 7 August 5:30pm in the Basement Theatre, The Spot.
 
Entrepreneurship is all about leveraging resources and taking action with the goal of creating value. In the Innovators Challenge, 'value' can be measured on any scale, such as economic, social, aesthetic or something else. Your ideas must actually be implemented during the week to qualify for prizes.
 
Students must submit a video of their endeavours prior to 9am on Friday 14 August. The top 10 videos will be shown and judged at the Entrepreneurs Week Closing Ceremony, held at 5:30pm Friday 14 August in the Basement Theatre, The Spot. The prizes will also be awarded at this event.
