CO-OP said the award is intended to go beyond competitive issues and produce progressive thinking that all credit unions could apply to their own institution. Entrants will be judged by Filene Research Institute.

In addition to the $10,000 in seed money, the winning entrant will receive additional pledges of financial support and business services from THINK 2011 sponsors and Filene Research Institute.

Credit unions or individuals can participate by applying online at www.co-opthink.org. Exact criteria and entry forms for proposals will be available on the website soon. Filene Research Institute will select three finalists for THINK ’11 and these finalists will receive an all-expenses-paid trip to THINK 2011 to make their presentations.
