WE BELIEVE STUDENTS CAN DO EXTRAORDINARY THINGS GIVEN THE RESOURCES NEEDED.
We want to hear from student clubs about the inspiring BIG ideas that they would put into action if they had additional resources. Any student club at the high school or middle school application can submit a written application (posted below).
Applications are due by 11:59 PM on December 20th. Right before winter break. Finalists will be notified the first week of January.
A group of six finalists will be selected to pitch their Big Ideas in front of a live audience in February. Winners will be chosen by the audience and a panel of community judges.
Come prepared to pitch your most impactful and innovative ideas in an entertaining way!
In the past, the most successful clubs have been those who were able to demonstrate their idea to the audience with energy and make the presentation FUN!
Seven finalists will be chosen to compete for a grand price of $2000.
Every one of the six finalists will win at least $500 to bring their Big Idea’s to life. We cant wait to see what each of these clubs manages in the future!
Thousands of dollars will be given out in one night!
At least $7000 will be awarded amongst the challenge finalists! The winner will take home $2,000 with runners up winning between $500 and $1500.
THE WHY AND WHAT
The challenge aims to support great student-led projects for clubs that have big ideas but few resources. The challenge will culminate in a “Think Big” LIVE Presentation Night in February where finalists will present their idea on stage.
IMPORTANT DETAILS
Applications must be submitted
by December 20th. Selected finalists will present to an audience of community members in February.
