How to Participate?

Big Innovation Quarter

Teams must register a team leader, list team members, and enter submissions by filling the Big Innovation Competition Application Form. It is not necessary to list all team members at once, though please try to list teammates as soon as possible, so that they may be recognized as participants.

Teams and Team-Building

A team might consist of one person, or as many people as desired. Teams are typically 2 - 5 people. The team must designate a team leader. This team leader must lead the team and drive the venture development and will be the only person with whom the Amity Program Manager will communicate.

Participating in the Amity Innovation Chapter Competition

Once you have registered as the team leader, you may add/update your team members, accept the Amity Innovation Chapter Competition rules and regulations, submit your business plan, and receive feedback. See Competition Structure for full details about how and what to submit.
