1 Deliverables for the Scripps College Innovation Challenge Register yourself and/or your team on our competition website by December 4, 2014 at 4 p.m. See for instructions. Important Dates Thursday, December 4, 4 p.m. Monday, January 26, 4 p.m. Friday, February 13, 2015 Monday, March 23, 2015 Register yourself and/or your team Round 1 Deliverables Due Finalists announced for Round 2 Round 2 Pitch Day during Scripps Communication Week The Goal: Create an innovative solution to a real- world media or communication problem. It should be a new product, service or process that provides a creative solution to one of the media challenges presented below. Your idea must also be commercially viable, either as a revenue- producing idea within an existing organization or as a stand- alone business that could be the next great startup company. Challenges: Water Quality Alert Increasingly, the quality of the water supply in communities is being threatened by toxic leaks into streams, broken septic tanks, livestock waste seeping into riverbeds or acid drainage from abandoned mines. The challenge: Come up with a way for citizens who spot contaminated water to simultaneously notify water quality control officials and the local news outlet so that both are aware that a problem has been identified. Your solution should exploit one or multiple platforms (mobile, for instance) and may utilize an array of existing technologies (such as photo geo- location). The solution must also incorporate a business component that addresses the cost of developing and marketing your idea, as well as how to produce revenue to pay for it Scripps Innovation Challenge, Scripps College of Communication, OHIO 1
2 Pushing Content to Large Groups News organizations and advertisers can benefit greatly from being able to reach large groups of people based on their precise location. Advertisers bars and restaurants, for example would love to connect with fans leaving the Big Game and lure them to their establishments for drinks or a meal. News organizations would like to reach those same fans with post- game interviews or directions on how to get around the post- game traffic jams. But how can they identify these crowds? The Challenge: Create a way to identify groups of people clustered in a specific geographic location and push content to them in real time. You might do this based on existing apps like Foursquare, or identifying groups based on Tweets or other social media platforms. Your solution should take advantage of the full range of existing apps, devices and platforms. Your proposed solution must detail the cost of development and marketing, plus how you propose to produce revenue to pay for it. Engaging Online Commenting On- site comments used to be big business for many digital news organizations. But in recent years, many news organizations encouraged the movement of online comments from their websites to off- site social networks. This meant that the news organizations no longer had the burden of hosting and managing the online comments. But it also meant that they lost a substantial volume of readers, as well as the ability to engage those readers in conversations. That engagement is important. It helps increase the website s audience, which in turn increases revenue through targeted advertising. The Challenge: Create a solution that empowers readers to proactively leave comments within stories and drive conversations while keeping these users on the site. Your solution must take advantage of one or more platforms (desktop, mobile, tablets) and you may use existing technologies (Disqus, Kinja, RebelMouse) to accomplish this challenge. The solution to this challenge most also address the business side of the product, including costs for creation and implementation and, ideally, ways to produce revenue. Addressing Sexual Assault Colleges and universities are paying increased attention to sexual assaults both how to prevent them and how to respond when they occur. The goal is to educate students about the dangers and consequences, as well as the many places they can turn for help (legal, law enforcement, medical, psychological). The Challenge: Come up with a product or communication strategy to address sexual assault. Your solution may address only a narrow aspect of sexual assault, or it can be a one- stop clearinghouse of information. Regardless of scope, it must be rooted in technological innovation (a mobile app, for instance, or a social media strategy). Your solution must address the costs of development and marketing, as well as ways that it can produce revenue to pay its way Scripps Innovation Challenge, Scripps College of Communication, OHIO 2
3 Engaging High School Students in Electoral Politics Many high school students will be eligible to vote in the next presidential election. In the coming year, candidates will gear up campaigns and the media will provide saturation coverage. Yet if history is a guide, high school students will not be deeply engaged even though many will be able to vote on Election Day in The Challenge: Create a product or communication strategy to teach high school students about presidential electoral politics and get them engaged and motivated to cast their first ballots. Your solution can rely on the full range of technological devices at your disposal apps, digital gaming, social media. You must fully explain the cost of developing and marketing your idea, as well as how it will produce revenue to either cover your costs or, hopefully, produce a profit. Navigating Communication Majors/Jobs Given the constant changes in the fields of journalism and communication studies, it s hard for high school and undecided college students to know how to chart the best path through the myriad courses and majors. They know they need the basics. But they re often bewildered about how their interests and passions might translate into a communications major and prepare them to land a job and launch a successful career after graduation. The Challenge: Develop a technology that helps students navigate career choices in communication, new media and technologies. For example, it might be a kind of flow chart or recommendation engine If you re interested in X, consider Y that gives students guidance for whatever form of media they hope to embrace. You must spell out the costs of developing and marketing your solution, and it must be developed in a way that it produces revenue or otherwise pays for itself.

8 Judging Team entries at both Round 1 and Round 2 will be judged using the following evaluation form: Please use the following scale to rate the entries on the following criteria. Use highlight or underscore to electronically mark the appropriate response. Please provide feedback on positive and negative aspects in the comments below: 1 = Poor, 2 = Fair, 3 = Good, 4 = Very Good, 5 = Excellent 1) The presentation was compelling, easy to understand, and described the problem and its solution completely and concisely. 2) Addresses the problem within its context. The proposed solution should be focused around a clearly articulated problem. It should demonstrate that it is offering an idea or approach that is supported by research and demonstrates an understanding of today s media landscape. 3) Provides a viable solution that clearly describes its features and benefits and presents a valid value proposition with the key activities clearly outlined. 4) Meets the threshold for innovation. Judges should be guided by the reality that truly transformational innovation is rare. Incremental innovation is more the norm but is equally valuable in our competition so long as it provides an inspired solution to the challenge that has been posed. 5) Takes full advantage of new media tools, platforms, technologies and applications in use today. These might include things like interactive design, gaming, geo-location based tools, informational graphics and all aspects of social media, etc. 6) Business model and customer segments. The solution shows an understanding of the market need, cost structure, and (if relevant) revenue streams. If part of the challenge, the market is clearly described, sized and characterized, as are the target customer and demographics. 7) Understands possible roadblocks, competition, and need for a sustainable advantage. The solution shows an understanding of the roadblocks that need to be overcome, the competition, and how the solution can be sustainable. 8) Solution embraces diverse viewpoints, populations or audiences. The solution realistically includes the potential to expand media diversity, including serving underserved or underrepresented communities.
