Young people across the country are full of powerful ideas, and the Mott Million Dollar Challenge is giving them the stage to share them.

This national pitch competition invites K-12 students to submit a short, 30-90 second video showcasing an idea that would make a positive impact in their school, home, or community.

Students may enter individually or in teams of up to three, and a total of $1 million in prizes will be awarded. Submissions are due February 27, 2026.

Let's put Virginia on the national stage for kids and teens with game-changing ideas, featuring their awesome concepts that solve problems at school or in their afterschool programs.
