Summary

This Idea Hunt is all about spotting opportunities. We want you to shop the stores for major missed opportunities in our areas of interest: hardware, lawn and garden, convenience store and grocery. If you think a type of product cries out for a simpler or a better solution, let us know. If you also have an idea of what that solution should look like, we’re very interested and it will certainly be considered a plus. But you only need to identify the opportunity to win.

What’s in it for you? Each winner will receive a cash prize of $2,000. We’ll also offer royalties from 1-3%, plus a chance to be paid for development work on the product if you’re qualified. We might pick more than one winner, and you can win more than once. Deadline is Aug. 26, 2010.
