If you are a forward-thinking person that also has 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 isn't 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 automobile loan required).

Submit a video to the Tony Stark Innovation Challenge

This is how the Tony Stark Innovation Challenge works. Record your idea in a video that is 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, the majority of the success will depend on the idea being promoted through social networks like Facebook, Twitter, and blogs. Your chance of winning goes up with the amount of votes as part of your favor.

Make certain to innovate like Tony Stark

The Audi R8 Spyder and A8 are heavily featured in “Iron Man 2” as fans will notice. Such product placement isn’t new, but their connection to a huge contest that could have a good worldwide impact makes the Tony Stark Innovation Challenge more than your average viral marketing campaign. If your video does 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
• ”innovation, adventures and intelligence worthy of Audi and Tony Stark” is showcased
• Appeals to people

Then it would definitely be worthy of the Tony Stark Innovation Challenge.

What are the Tony Stark-caliber prizes?

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

So then, what is there to wait for?

The Tony Stark Innovation Challenge beckons!
