New AIC Prize - Recycling Kicker

Get your ideas ready for submission to the UAF Arctic Innovation Competition!

Now in its eighth year, AIC is Alaska's original idea competition that will award more than $28,000 in cash prizes this year. The competition is free to enter, individuals and teams of all ages may enter, and multiple ideas can be entered. No business plan or prototype is required to enter, although they are recommended.

This year, the competition will feature a new $2,000 prize incentive. Joining the previously established "kicker" or side prizes, the new Recycling Kicker prize will be awarded for the best recycling-related idea. Sponsored by the Fairbanks North Star Borough Recycling Commission, this prize will recognize a new innovation for a product, service, or process that encourages or utilizes the reduction, reuse, and/or recycling of solid wastes.



The deadline to submit an idea for AIC is 11:59 p.m. AKDT on Friday, September 23, 2016.

The final competition will be held on Saturday, October 22 and all finalists must attend the event to present their ideas for judging.
