The Babson Creative Thinking Prize

The Creative Thinking Prize honors all forms and intersections of creativity. It celebrates–and aims to highlight–the creative process that innovators use
in all fields.

Contest entries include the submission of a single artifact that illustrates students’ creative thinking process, as well as the completion of a two-page entry essay describing the process in detail. Finalists are chosen based on how richly the essay describes the influences that affect decision making during the creative thinking process. Presentations are judged on how dynamically and inspirationally the artifact is introduced, and how the creative thinking process is explained to the audience. As the prize’s name captures, the creative thinking process is as important—if not more so—than the submitted creative artifact.

Sponsored by The Arthur M. Blank Center for Entrepreneurship and the Undergraduate Dean's Office.

2013 Deadline for Submission: Friday, April 5, 2013
