Third Annual New Ideas: A Dialogue Project Competition

Enter to Win an All-Expenses Paid Trip to Duke

Duke is searching for undergraduate students dedicated to exploring the different ways business can be a
force for good in society. Current students in their freshman, sophomore or junior year of a four-year degree
program at a U.S. college or university are invited to share their proposal for how a company, set of
companies or industry sector can have positive impact on a specific community, population, location,
industry or the environment at large.
You are welcome to pick existing companies or industries or present an entrepreneurial idea of your own.
We hope your proposal will highlight any ways in which your idea will contribute to improving civil
discourse and reducing polarization in society.
Ten grand prize winners will receive an all-expenses paid trip to Duke’s Fuqua School of Business where
they will present their proposals to influential business leaders and participate in a live case study. Winners
who apply to and are admitted to one of Fuqua’s one-year master’s programs will also receive some partial
scholarship funding.

college or university located in the United States. Students of any nationality or citizenship are welcome to apply. Applicants must
