Are you a student with a big “green” idea? Walmart Canada has a special contest just for you. Walmart’s Green Student Challenge is looking for post-secondary students across Canada that have an idea that will change the way Canadian companies do business. Those that come up with the best, brightest and most innovative green business idea will have a chance to win $30,000 (as well as $30,000 for their school).
They’re not just looking for any green idea either. (Jump Rope flashlights are sooo 2010) They want submissions that consist of a new way of doing business, that have a significant sustainability benefit and have a strong business plan to back it up. Will your idea save money or create revenue? They want to know! Judges will be scoring submissions on the basis of originality and ease of implementation. Five semi-finalists will pitch their concepts to a panel of Canada’s top CEO’s in Toronto in March of 2012.
So, what are you waiting for? Start brainstorming, read all about how you can enter and get inspired by taking a look at how Canadian businesses are changing the world!
