Tony Stark Innovation Challenge Introduced By Audi And Marvel

If you’re a forward-thinking person with a creative knack for developing plans to improve our overall quality of life, Audi invites you to put your ideas to the test within the Tony Stark Innovation Challenge. The individual that is most tech-savvy and is not afraid to use social media to promote the greatness of their concept (and who happens to be a fan of “Iron Man 2″ starring Robert Downey, Jr. as Tony Stark) can make a real difference within the world and win Tony Stark-caliber prizes including a racetrack experience with the Audi R8 Spyder (no autoloans required).

Submit a video to the Tony Stark Innovation Challenge

This is how the challenge for Tony Stark Innovation works. You’ll need to record your ground-breaking idea in a video no longer than two minutes in duration, a video that “showcases ideas for better living through the use of technology,” says Audi. Although there can be judges to rate the ideas, most of the success will depend on the idea being promoted through social networks like Facebook, Twitter, and blogs. The a lot more the masses vote in favor of your idea, the greater your chance of winning becomes.

Innovate like Tony Stark

Fans will notice of course that the Audi R8 Spyder and A8 are heavily featured in "Iron Man 2". Such product placement is nothing new, but having a connection to a contest that could have a good worldwide impact makes the Tony Stark Innovation Challenge look like even a lot more than your average viral marketing campaign. If your video follows the following:

• Outlines how your tech-savvy idea will make the world a better place by solving or improving upon the solution for a real problem
• Follows the "better living through technology" theme
• Has the possibility to have a worldwide impact
• Showcases “innovation, adventures and intelligence worthy of Audi and Tony Stark”
• Appeals to others

Then it may be one of the most worthy entry in the Tony Stark Innovation Challenge.

What are the Tony Stark-caliber prizes?

• $15,000 to actually make your idea
• A write up on Audiusa.com
• A four-day trip for two to California with air transport, hotel and meals
• In a 2011 Audi A8, there could be ground transportation
• Luxury spa treatments, tailored cocktail attire and top-notch grooming
• In Santa Monica, CA, a tour of the Audi Design Center
• (Seen in Iron Man 2), a VIP day with ICON Aircraft where you're in on testing of the ICON A5 aircraft
• You will drive the Audi R8 Spyder on the Audi Sports Automobile Experience racetrack

What are you waiting for then?

The Tony Stark Innovation Challenge beckons!
