Changemakers – Solve Community Issues for Your Chance to Win

Coming up with the winning idea will net you a cool $10,000.

This article is presented in partnership with Samsung Solve for Tomorrow.

Have you ever come up with an idea so good, it might change the world as we know it?

We come face-to-face with problems that require solutions just about every day and finding a solution can often be tough.

Solving these kinds of problems requires innovation, creativity and outside-the-box thinking, and it's something that young people are often the best at.

If you reckon this might be you, listen up.

Samsung’s Solve for Tomorrow Competition is the right place to share your ideas and be rewarded for the hard work you’ve put in.

The Solve for Tomorrow Competition is open to young Aussies aged 14 to 24 interested in Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths (STEM), who believe they have an innovative idea capable of making a positive impact in their community.

The competition aims to foster problem solving skills and highlight the positive impact young thinking can have on society.

All you need to do to enter is tackle a problem in your community from a unique and unbiased standpoint, and then present your ground-breaking solution in a 60-second video or written application.

Your idea will be judged on its social relevance, feasibility, creativity, application of STEM and its presentation.

Previous winners have tackled issues as diverse as roadkill, healthcare, and communication.

Recently, we spoke to Meg Phillips, who’s idea for solving the roadkill issue in Tasmania took her to the winner’s circle.

The grand prize winner will receive $10,000 to take their ideas to the next level, and the runners-up will both receive $5,000.

There’s also an employee's choice awards.

The winner of every category will also win a prize (to be determined)!
