JoinAbout this contest
Since pioneering the textbook rental industry in 2006, BookRenter has been passionately dedicated to lowering the price of higher education for all students. Collectively, we’ve saved them over $192 million dollars and counting. That’s some pretty serious money in the bank. Check out BookRenter's services here.
So tell us, what’s become of all that cash? We want to hear from you students who have used (or would use) their textbook savings to do something extra memorable. Something from your bucket list perhaps. What creative things would you do (or have you done) to make the money matter? From skydiving to ukulele classes to flying back home and having bourbon shots with your grandpa, make a short video or take an awe inspiring photo showing us how you made (or would make) it count.

Your mission
Identify a highly memorable (perhaps even life-changing) experience that could be funded with the money you save by renting textbooks from BookRenter. Dream big – you can save an average of $500 per year, which can mean $2,000 or more in your pocket by the time you graduate. Make it compelling, funny, or amazing – but most of all INTERESTING – interesting enough, in fact, that you would repost it on YouTube or Instagram, and share with all of your friends. The content and tone are decided by YOU, so surprise us.
Here’s a brief checklist to go through before submitting your photo or video:
Are you asking yourself - “What if?”
Are you daydreaming about the endless possibilities waiting for you?
Is the video you’re about to create already playing in your head?
Is your heart racing?
Hit the ground running.
