The Connect Challenge: An idea pitch competition for the IU College of Arts + Sciences
The Connect Challenge is an idea pitch competition made for the IU College of Arts + Sciences. Students (undergraduate or graduate level) submit their idea to one of three categories via an online application. Finalists will be invited to present their pitch in front of a live audience of judges during the College of Arts + Sciences Connect Conference on February 25, 2022. Winners will be awarded a prize package to help bring their idea to life.
The categories will likely be along the lines of:
- Creative Endeavors (Ex: Fine arts projects, film and tv scripts, music compositions, creative writing projects)
- Non-profit and Social Good (Ex: public programs, environmental programs, business models that give back, journalism, academic research)
- Startups, Technology, + Inventions (Ex: Software as a service (SaaS), phone apps, consumer products, medical devices)
The application will open in mid-January, but until then, students can learn more about the rules and get insider advice on how to be successful at the first in-person information session on December 2:
