To submit a project, students must describe an idea they've envisioned and brought to life, centered around civic engagement. Each project must have two components:
- A written essay to connect your project to our founding principles and virtues.
- A project pitch video that clearly and succinctly conveys the project’s purpose, concept, and execution, often beginning with a short elevator pitch.
Past winners of the MyImpact Challenge Grand Prize, First Prize, Second Prize, or Third Prize are not eligible to enter.
