YOU Innovate Tournament
The Vision
To launch a national, creative, youthful and energetic initiative that makes Canadians engage with, connect to and see the value of entrepreneurship in everyday lives.
The Tournament
Participants will be assigned an everyday object (such as a cup, paper clip or cloth) and challenged to create new value with the object at is core. As individuals or in groups of up to four people, participants will define the value of their innovation (monetary, social or other) for their chance to win exciting prizes. They are required to submit a video explaining their innovation. The public will be able to vote for the videos they like best and a carefully-selected judging panel will choose a winner in each region. The tournament will run from September 26, 2011, to October 25, 2011, across Canada. The regional winners will be announced during Global Entrepreneurship Week, November 14-20, 2011.
