How it Works

Step 1
Enter Sept. 16–Oct. 17

Share your group's story and let us know how you're driving change on campus and in your community. How can Zipcar help you go further?

Step 2
Five finalists announced by Oct. 28

We select 5 finalists driving a big change. Each gets $300 in Zipcar driving credit and a $500 gift card to make a video on how they use Zipcar to help their community.

Step 3
Vote for your fave, Dec. 8-Jan. 30

The 5 finalist videos go live and everyone can vote! The top 3 vote-getters win donations to their group and school's scholarship fund—plus Zipcar driving credit.
