Raymond Ideas Challenge
Sunday, November 14, 2021
The Raymond Ideas Challenge is a campus-wide idea competition that takes place at Texas A&M each year. The competition challenges undergraduate and graduate students from any major to dream up the next great product, service, or solution. As an idea challenge, there is no prototype or business plan required in order to participate.
On competition day, a select group of student finalists are invited to present their idea to a panel of judges (YOU) and compete for $10,000 in prize money. Each student finalist is given 5 minutes to present and then given an additional 5 minutes to field questions from the judging panel.
Any business professional can judge Raymond Ideas Challenge. We actively recruit judges from a variety of backgrounds and industries because we believe a diverse background makes for a superior judging experience. As a judge, you’ll be able to encourage and support the next generation of Aggie entrepreneurs.
