Project Paradigm invites students to submit an original idea — a poster, video, invention, app or other format — addressing one of five real-world problem areas: home fires, waste reduction, personal health, food security or biodiversity. Entrants can compete alone or in teams of any size, and no prototype is required. It's free to enter, and the 100 top entries share prizes plus an all-expenses-paid trip to the Los Angeles awards ceremony.
