After a week of deliberation, we hope to have our judges determine all our finalists. What a tough contest this year! First off we had over double the entries from last year. Secondly, it seems that Yalies are getting more and more innovative in the digital sphere. This is excellent and exciting!

Okay, so entrants can expect an e-mail of yea or nay by tonight at the latest. So exciting, no? Either way- all the entries were ridiculously good. I actually have no idea how we’re going to pick just a few out of so many.

Also, everyone will be invited to the IDEA Reception: to celebrate your innovative ideas and the 2nd successful year for IDEA. This is where all entrants are recognized, finalists are announced and the winners are revealed. (The awards will be more along the lines of the Academy Awards or Grammys, where finalists are told ahead of time and the winners are announced and awards awarded on the spot. Oh, the suspense!)
