The COINS Grand Challenge is a global competition to uncover students, innovators and leaders with ideas that have the power to positively impact the built environment, and our society. We are searching for viable ideas that use a new or emerging technology to radically reduce costs, to increase efficiency or to improve sustainability, quality or compliance during construction or throughout the built life cycle.

To win cash prizes and gain exposure to influential leaders, all your students need to do is write an essay or create a short video to please describe their idea and its potential impact, and enter it on the Grand Challenge application website.

Entries should be submitted before 12 Apr 2019. Apply here: https://coins.secure-platform.com/a/
