Got an idea that could change the world?

The NFTE World Series of Innovation is an online competition that challenges young entrepreneurs to think big and win cash prizes by coming up with innovative ideas for tackling some of the most important challenges facing the world today. This spring, the competition focuses on the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). 

The winning team in the ConEd Sustainable Energy Challenge receives a cash prize of $2,500 to share and a $750 gift for the school or the nonprofit organization of their choice. The winning team in each of the other challenge categories receives a cash prize of $1,500 to share and a $500 gift for the school or the nonprofit organization of their choice.

You must be at least 13 years old to compete, and you can't compete alone. Only small teams (of two or three students) can enter.

Register your team at innovation.nfte.com and start brainstorming now!

Once you come up with an idea for an innovative product or service, just go online to answer a few questions about your big idea. We'll also ask you to storyboard and record a short "commercial" for your product or service.

You've got until midnight on April 24 to complete your submission. Entries will be scored by NFTE judges and voted on by the public. Winners will be announced on May 31.
