The Contest

"Innovation is the specific instrument of entrepreneurship. The act that endows resources with a new capacity to create wealth."

Peter F. Drucker

As part of the Working for Good program, we will run a contest for students to design, develop, and implement innovative projects designed to promote peace and prosperity through entrepreneurial initiative. The projects may be conceived as for-profit or non-profit ventures, and can promote peace and prosperity at any level.

Through the Working for Good contest, students will expand their perspective on what they are capable of achieving through entrepreneurial initiative and on the role of business in society.

Judges will include John Mackey, Michael Strong, Brian Johnson, Donna Callejon, and other, comparable, high profile business and social leaders.

In addition to cash prizes, winners will receive support from mentors, who will include Working for Good presenters.
