During our annual Happy Hour Socials, we have a **"What's the BIG idea?"** contest.  Here are the winning entries from the last three years:

2012 - **DELIVERANCE FROM RECEIPTS** - by [Agape Construction](http://www.agapeconstruction.com)  
This is a mini-game to reward employees for reducing the number of trips they were making to Home Depot/Lowe's. This saves time for both the employees in the field and for accounting processing all those receipts, thus saving them a significant amount of money.

2011 - **6 MOST LIST** - by [Panoptic Wealth Advocates](https://www.panopticwealth.com)  
Each day, write down the six most important things you need to do in order to have a productive day. This keeps you focused and on track to have a successful day.

2010 - **WINS BOARD** - by [goBrandgo](http://www.gobrandgo.com)  
Each employee gets a Post-it pad in a color just for them. During the weekly huddle, each employee writes three personal or professional "wins" on separate Post-it notes, they share them with the group, then post them on their "wins board". This create an incredible visual for everyone, including clients and visitors, to see plus it boosts morale.
