$200,000 contest to recognize K-12 innovation at 15 schools

The third annual Follett Challenge launches today. This year’s contest will award prizes to 15 schools for the best and most effective approaches to 21st century learning.

With a total prize value of $200,000 in products and services from Follett, the overall winner will earn a $60,000 prize, plus a celebration at the school, while each of the other three semifinalists will earn $30,000 prizes. Ten $5,000 prizes will be awarded to the “People’s Choice” winners—those schools that receive the highest number of online votes from the public. Judges will select the grand-prize winner from among the four semifinalists.

To participate, entrants must complete an online application and upload a three- to five-minute video describing their program.
