Social Media Contest

Teams must be registered in the Switch Competition to participate in the Social Media Contest. The Social Media Contest is a multi-stage engagement event designed to amplify the Case Competition’s social media presence, promote community among teams, and raise public awareness about energy poverty.

The contest takes place on LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter (X). The highest-scoring team in each region will win a distributed $1200 USD to be split evenly among team members. Participation in the Social Media Contest is optional, and will not affect scoring or performance in the Case Competition.

Your team must be registered in the Switch Competition and select a scenario to focus on in order to participate in the secondary Social Media Contest.
