Submit a Project or an Idea
For this season of Spark the Rise, we’ve splitting entries into two groups – Projects and Ideas! This will make browsing entries easier and will ensure a fairer voting process for all. Learn more, get excited, and submit your own Spark!
The difference between Project and Idea
What’s a Project?
A project is something currently underway: an initiative that you’re pursuing, a product that you ave launched, or a program that is up and running.
A project must have
- Past results and history that you can point to and share
- A plan for how you intend to continue taking your project forward
- A team or organizing force behind it
What’s an Idea?
An idea is a work-in-progress: an opportunity you have identified and would like to pursue, but one that you still haven’t been able to launch.
An idea must have
- A clear purpose and vision
- A detailed plan for how you intend to pursue it
- An understanding of which materials, expertise, and capital you will need to bring the idea to life

Every project is different, and everyone has ideas that they want to make happen. Follow our guidelines below to ensure that your project meets our requirements, and is in the best possible form to Spark the Rise:
