EIX's Virtual Student Venture Competition
Undergraduate and graduate students around the U.S. now have the opportunity to win prizes for themselves and their schools, through EIX's virtual student venture competition.
This virtual competition, run entirely on the EIX online platform, invites students to submit seven-minute videos that outline an idea for a new product or service. The plan must be for a new offering that was either introduced after March 1, 2015 or has not been launched yet.
A total of $50,000 in prize money will be awarded: $25,000 to top undergraduate ideas and their schools, and $25,000 to top graduate ideas and their schools. The prizes will be awarded to the three best ideas submitted in each of the undergraduate and graduate categories. Judges will focus primarily on the strength of the idea, rather than how the video looks.
Students are invited to participate in this totally virtual competition by submitting their seven-minute video between March 1 - 31, 2016. EIX's judges will then choose the top three videos from each of the undergraduate and graduate groups. In the second round of judging, which will take place April 15-20, judges will choose the first, second and third place winners. The winners will be announced by May 8.
First-place winners in each group will receive $10,000 in prize money, and another $3,000 will go to their school. Second-place winners will receive $5,000, with another $2,500 going to their school. Third-place winners will receive $2,500, with another $2,000 going to their school.
To sign up, first create an account with EIX. Each member of the team will need to create a free account with EIX and upload a photo.
