The document proposes a holiday contest called "Expect Great Things" that uses existing and emerging technologies to increase Kohl's brand and engage the community. The contest would have students submit creative designs and ideas for prizes, with winners chosen through public voting. Both existing technologies like social media and emerging technologies like augmented reality and 3D projection mapping could be utilized to reach a wide audience and integrate the contest with product sales. The goal is to significantly increase Kohl's brand awareness, publicize their charitable work, and build their fan base.
