Funtastic Front Stage Challenge

Welcome to the HeroX "Refresh The Front Stage Challenge!" Read on to find out how you can win BIG prizes for sharing your GREAT IDEAS!

The contest will be run through HeroX—"an open prize platform that empowers anyone to create breakthroughs in their company, their community, or the world." HeroX was co-founded by Peter Diamandis, founder of the XPRIZE Foundation, "which has gone on to create an incredible array of incentive prizes to solve the world's Grand Challenges—ocean health, literacy, space exploration, among many others."  

They do cool things. And so do we.

While our challenge won't involve space travel, it will require some creativity and ingenuity. Our focus is here on Earth—specifically, on our 33 Fraser Avenue office.

Our challenge to solve is that our office is looking outdated and needs a refresh. Labour Day 2016 marks the 25th anniversary of Coach being on Fraser Ave, so it's time for a new look! We want to tap into YOUR creativity and innovative spirit to redesign several parts of the office to make it even more amazing for everyone.

Read on for the details and to see how to get involved!
