$10,000 to build your idea
The Circular Economy Grand Challenge is open. Get a team together, propose a way to help suppliers, businesses or consumers cut waste, and you could win up to $10,000 to build and test it over six months.
Last year's finalists included a mix of students, researchers, staff, alumni, industry professionals and community members. Three teams walked away with $10,000 each.
You'll need 2 to 5 people, mostly from UON. No team yet? Come to Team Formation on Thursday 17 September and we'll help you find one. You can also enter more than one idea.
$36,000 in total prizes, 3 x $10,000 grants and 3 x $2,000 prizes.
Applications close Sunday 27 September, 5pm.
