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 15th. Right before winter break. Finalists will be notified the first week of January.
A group of seven finalists will be selected to pitch their Big Ideas in front of a live audience at 7 pm on February 13th at Sehome High School Auditorium. 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!
Seven finalists will be chosen to compete for a grand price of $2000.
