The Kemmons’ Spirit of Innovation Challenge Submissions are rolling in!

Don’t let your idea get left behind!

The challenge kicked off on April 12th and ideas can be submitted until May 7th.  Now is the time to get innovative and come up with your best idea to submit for the challenge.  You could win some amazing prizes and be a part of the team to see your idea come to life!

Whether your idea is about reengineering equipment, making things better for our team members/owners or revamping the whole check in/sales process, no idea is too big or small, and it can focus on any area of our business, even if it is not directly related to the team member’s role that is submitting the recommendation.

How It Works

The Kemmons’ Spirit of Innovation Challenge Portal, provides further details around the program, including rules and regulations, and is the platform for team members to use when submitting their ideas. Additionally, any program news and updates will be shared on this portal, so team members should visit it periodically.

Below is a timeline of the program:

  • Phase One, submissions open until May 7 – All team members are now eligible to submit their ideas through the portal. After submissions close on May 7, a local panel will review the ideas and select a limited number to move onto the Semi-Finals.
  • Semi-Finals, taking place June 14 through August 13 – Teams members who make it to the semi-finals will have their ideas reviewed by a regional panel. The top eight ideas will go onto the Finals.
  • Finals, taking place in October – The eight team members who were selected for the Finals will have the opportunity to pitch their idea to an executive panel of judges. This part of the program will be livestreamed for the Company to view.

 Prizes

Team members will not only be competing for a chance to make their idea reality; they also have the opportunity to win some incredible prizes.
