2015 Facebook Innovation Competition—now accepting entries

We’re excited about this year’s Innovation Competition and the game-changing solutions it’s inspiring. Now it’s time to put those solutions in the global spotlight. We’re now accepting entries, and your deadline is April 30, 2015.

This year’s competition focuses on vertical solutions. We want to know how Facebook Marketing Partners can solve the unique challenges—and reap the rewards—of lucrative key verticals, including automotive, entertainment and media, financial services and consumer goods.

To enter, complete the submission packet at http://fbrep.com/Marketing_Partners/IC_Overview.zip and email it to PartnerInnovation@fb.com no later than 11:59 pm PST, April 30, 2015 (late entries will not be accepted). Our judges will be looking at the uniqueness of your solution, how well it solves a business challenge, client results, and the size of the addressable market.

On May 15, 2015, we’ll announce the finalists who will be progressing to pitch day. On that day, you and your team will pitch your solution and get direct feedback from a panel of Facebook judges, as well as have the chance to meet and mingle with other partners.

In July, we’ll announce the finalists, as well as the grand prize winner, who will receive Innovation Competition winner designation and co-marketing for their product, a trophy, featured status at key events, a press release and Facebook for Business blog feature.
