ElevateYou Innovation Challenge — Rules & Terms
Last updated: August 2026
Eligibility
The ElevateYou Innovation Challenge 2026 is open to anyone. No technical experience is required. By submitting an idea, you confirm you are at least 18 years old or have permission from a parent or legal guardian.
How to Enter
Complete the submission form at elevateyou.tech/innovation-challenge. Provide your name, email, what best describes you, an idea title, and either a written description or an audio pitch. Submissions take less than two minutes.
Selection
ElevateYou may select one or more submitted ideas to develop as official ElevateYou products. Selection is at the sole discretion of ElevateYou. We do not promise that every idea will be built.
Prizes & Recognition
The selected winner receives a $1,000 cash prize, lifetime premium access to the resulting product, recognition in the ElevateYou Hall of Innovators, and an invitation to the Annual ElevateYou Innovation Showcase. Prizes are awarded at ElevateYou's discretion and may vary per cycle.
Idea Rights
Submitting an idea does not make you the legal owner, partner, employee, or cofounder of any resulting product, and does not guarantee any ownership, royalty, or employment rights, unless a separate written agreement is signed. Similar ideas may be submitted by multiple participants or may already be under consideration by ElevateYou. Selected contributors may be publicly recognized only with their written consent.
Duplicate Ideas
We may flag possible duplicate ideas for manual review, but we will not automatically reject submissions. If similar ideas are submitted, ElevateYou will make a fair determination based on the merits and timing of each submission.
Privacy
Your name and email are used only to contact you about the challenge and (if you opt in) future ElevateYou products and events. Audio submissions are stored securely and kept private. We will not publish personal information without your consent.
Challenge Period
The challenge runs through 2026. ElevateYou reserves the right to extend, pause, or close the challenge at any time, and to modify these rules with reasonable notice.
