Global Innovation Tournament

Mystery challenge now announced!

Today, one of the world's most pressing problems is the global recession, which has had a devastating effect on individuals, communities, companies, and entire countries. Those who have been least affected know how to build financial reserves to draw upon and/or how to do more with less.

However, many people around the world consider these things difficult or unpleasant to do. Let's do something to change that!

Your challenge is to... MAKE SAVING MONEY FUN!

Create as much value and have as much impact as possible while making it fun to save money. We encourage you to come up with products, services, experiences, or anything else you can imagine. You must actually implement your ideas and deliver results.

• Remember that "saving" can be defined in lots of different ways.
• Impact comes in many different forms: financial, educational, artistic, humour, awareness, behaviour changing, relationship building, peacemaking, etc.

Next steps for entrants:

• Document your work, and create a video that is three minutes or less.
• Upload your video to YouTube and give it the tag 'stanfordgit09'
• Use the 'Submit a Video' link at the upper right to post your video's URL to the tournament's YouTube group .
• Once your video is on YouTube, one person per team should fill out the online Submission form.
