PRIZE SPONSORS at $1,000 each - We are seeking 10 companies to participate as Prize Sponsors for A Bright Idea! Each prize sponsor selects the winner of their award based on their own criteria for identifying the best Bright Idea! We'll provide you an advance summary of the student concepts to allow you to create a short list and at the exhibition, you'll personally award a ribbon to your top choice.

We are purposely not defining a set of official selection criteria. We want to reward innovation and creativity for a diverse collection of participants, so we're asking you to make the rules. A technology company might honor a commercially viable technology project. An advertising agency might focus on the product that would be the most fun to promote, regardless of practicality. A law firm might choose a project that demonstrates great teamwork. You can focus on your own industry or you can celebrate a consumer product that you can't wait to buy!

Prize sponsors will be highlighted on the event web page, in the exhibition program and will have high visibility at the event itself. And, of course, participating students will particularly focus on the companies awarding prizes!

You can actively help to slow the flow of young talent from our region!
