HOW TO ENTER
REGISTRATION IS EASY.
 |
| Review the challenge categories and decide which innovation challenge is right for you. We have a great lineup of sponsors this year, all with very different and compelling challenge questions. |
 |
| Individuals and teams of up to 5 members are welcome to participate. Entrants are encouraged to form cross-functional teams of two to five members so long as at least one member of the team is enrolled as a full-time or part-time (executive) MBA candidate or a similar program. If the team has more than two members, the remaining team members may be graduate students of any graduate program offered by any other university. For more details on the eligibility requirements, please check out the rules of the Innovation Challenge. |
 |
| Team leaders should register first by submitting the online registration form and consenting to the confidentiality agreement. The registration fee is $125 per team. Once your team leader is registered, (s)he may invite up to 4 additional team members through the "Team" tab within the contestant app. |
 |
| Get your team together (if applicable), check out the competition timeline and critical dates, and prepare to receive your challenge on October 8th. After the challenge questions are released, you will have approximately 2 weeks to research, prepare and submit your concept plan. For further details, please refer to the competition timeline. |
