Reimagine Challenge Essay Competition

The Reimagine Challenge 2020, announced this week during an episode of Reimagine podcast, is calling for college and university students to submit a short, written project proposal that addresses one of two topics:  

Sparking a Global Movement 

What is one concrete way that YOU could motivate 1,000,000 people to work in concert to make the world meaningfully better within 10 years?  What would you do, what would be the key steps to grow an effective massive action, and why would this have significant impact?  Why should we have confidence that you will succeed and how would we know that you had succeeded? 

Community Impact from COVID 

What is the most surprising or unusual insight you have had about your community in the wake of the pandemic?  Given this insight, what is the most important concrete action that YOU and a growing group of others could take to help your community or country better respond to changes resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic? How would you and we know you had succeeded? 

Up to 20 final entries will be selected as winners to be published in an online anthology and up to $1 million will be awarded in scholarships and prizes. Each winning author will receive up to $25,000 in scholarships, as well as an additional $25,000 to our school. Apply by September 25, 2020! 

We hope you’ll all consider this opportunity to engage with your peers on innovative solutions to some of our world’s greatest challenges at a most pivotal moment in our history.
