Idea Hunts & Contests

Big Idea Group conducts a number of Hunts and Contests for innovation-seeking companies.

Hunts are searches for innovations in products, services, or marketing, usually conducted only with BIG's Inventor Network and lasting a short period. Contests are nationally publicized innovation searches that often have a broader focus and last a longer period. Hunts and Contests are sponsored by retailers or manufacturers. Sponsors of past Idea Hunts include Kraft, ABCO, Unilever, Thomson, Welch's, and more.

Both Hunts and Contests are ideal opportunities for inventors to create innovations that a sponsor is actively seeking. Besides offering the chance for licensing contracts, Hunts and Contests often involve monetary or merchandise prizes.

Active hunts:

The winning inventor(s) will receive not only a royalty on products sold, but also an equity stake in the new business that we form to launch the invention. Multiple inventions might be selected.
