2012 Collegiate Inventors Competition now accepting entries
You've invented something that has a good chance of impacting the world. We have a 21 year history of honoring inventions like yours through the Collegiate Inventors Competition program. So why not see if your idea is up to the challenge.
If your invention is chosen among the best, we will bring you to the U.S. Department of Commerce in Washington to present your idea to a panel of some of the most important and influential inventors and invention experts in the nation. Last year's judging panels included National Inventors Hall of Fame Inductees Jim West, Don Keck, Ted Hoff, Morton Mower, Al Langer, and Tom Fogarty.
You'll also meet other top young inventors from around the country, have your idea showcased on a national stage, and compete for over $100,000 in prizes including a $15,000 top prize for Graduate students and $12,500 for Undergraduate students. Your advisor wins a cash prize too.
