We’re excited to announce that NAB PILOT Innovation Challenge submission period has officially ended on September 22nd!
Submissions are now closed - www.nabpilot.org/challenge
To those of you who aren’t familiar with the innovation challenge, it’s an online crowdsourcing competition for anyone with an idea to answer the following question:
“What is an unconventional way broadcasters and other local media could serve communities?”
Building upon the success of the last year’s inaugural challenge, this year’s challenge had doubled its number of winners and increased cash prize amount to find the next big ideas.
During the six months of the submission period, we were able to gather more than 150 submissions from over 260 registrants. This amazing result wasn’t possible without the generous support and help from our marketing partners.
So, we would like to express our gratitude to the following channels in particular for their continued support:
