Calling all young innovators, entrepreneurs, and creative thinkers! Today, the Rideau Hall Foundation (RHF), in partnership with Junior Achievement (JA) Canada, is pleased to unveil Ingenious+, a new national youth innovation challenge for 14- to 18-year-olds. Consisting of regional and national competitions, Ingenious+ will offer young innovators the opportunity to win cash prizes and mentorship opportunities. Ingenious+ will be supported by partnerships with JA Canada, Yukon University and other organizations, who will ensure youth will have access to support for their submissions.

Ingenious+ will officially kick off in October 2021, with submissions open between October and February 2022. Numerous regional prizes of $1,000 plus mentorship opportunities will be awarded in early 2022. The national prizes – $10,000 for 1^st place, $7,500 for 2^nd place, and $5,000 for 3^rd place – will be awarded during Canadian Innovation Week in May 2022.
