THE TRANSCEND INNOVATION COMPETITION

Your idea. A bigger stage.

Our annual innovation competition is a chance for UW student builders to share what they’re creating and take the next step.

Bring what you’re building.

Startups, prototypes, and early ideas all start with someone taking a chance. The Transcend competition gives student builders an opportunity to tell their story and share their progress.

Dates, eligibility requirements, application details, and awards for the next competition are not yet confirmed. This page will be updated when the competition team announces them.

Let the community be part of it.

Community Choice can offer an additional pathway into the competition. Each cycle defines its own eligibility rules, support window, and wildcard policy. Verified support is one part of the process; eligibility and moderation review still apply.
