Dear Dr. Uhrich,

Good afternoon.  It’s Jeanne Forbis, VP of Communications at Wilbur-Ellis.

Earlier I communicated some information about the *Wilbur-Ellis Innovation
Award <https://www.wilburellis.com/innovation-award/>*, which this summer
will award *a $25,000 top prize *to the team of U.S. college / university
students that proposes the best idea for *feeding a growing world
population*. With that in mind, I wanted to share *updated* information.

First, we want to encourage student teams *register to participate by*
*Tuesday,
March 1, to get 10 extra points added to their scores. The deadline for
submitting ideas is Monday, May 2*. Teams can register on the *Innovation
Award web page <https://www.wilburellis.com/innovation-award/>,* where
we’ve also posted links to a number of *e-cards* that can be sent to U.S.
college students about the Innovation Award.  It’s an easy way to let
students know about the opportunity.

Below is a quick summary about the award – please feel free to share as you
wish.  If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me. My cell
is 628-224-3053. The Innovation Award website
<https://www.wilburellis.com/innovation-award/> is also a good place to get
information.

Thank you in advance for helping us encourage innovation and bring out new
and exciting ideas that can benefit people worldwide.

Jeanne
