For example, "soft problems" related to community well-being, accessibility, equity, sustainability, and social good. Top 5 proposals will be invited to pitch at Thomson House on April 2, with prizes for the top three finalists ($300 / $200 / $100).

Lunch, coffee, and treats will be provided; round-trip transportation by bus is included, and there will be entry prizes and gifts for participants.
