The Innovators Challenge is open to teams of up to 6 people. All team members must be Melbourne University students.

Your challenge is to create as much 'value' as possible using an assigned everyday object unveiled at the Entrepreneurs Week launch event on Friday 8 August 3:30pm. For those who missed it, the object is paper cups.

Entrepreneurship is all about leveraging resources and taking action with the goal of creating value. In the Innovators Challenge, 'value' can be measured on any scale, such as economic, social, aesthetic or something else.

The ideas must actually be implemented; unexecuted ideas may be submitted but will likely not qualify for prizes. To be successful, participants must challenge assumptions, seize opportunities and be creative!

Students must either submit a video or prepare a presentation for the finals event on Friday 15 August 3:30pm. The video or presentation must be no more than three minutes in length. Note that the production quality of videos is not a judging criterion - it's the substance that counts.

Videos should be uploaded to YouTube and a link emailed to hi@agentsofchange.com.au

Both the launch and finals events will take place at the Alan Gilbert Executive Lounge, Alan Gilbert Building, corner Grattan and Barry streets, University of Melbourne.
