Calls for entries into the International Next Big Thing Award 2009
Innovic’s International Next Big Thing Award 2009 has opened and for the first time is going global due to demand from Asia–Pacific innovators and small businesses.
Joss Evans, CEO, said: “International innovators are keen to capitalise on the reputation of the Next Big Thing Award, which is about finding, showcasing and rewarding good new ideas. The Next Big Thing Award also provides over $60,000 in cash and prizes.”
Evans said the 2009 winners would join the ranks of other winners including E-Crete, a cementless-concrete made from waste produced by power stations.
As well as the international award this year, there will be awards for Innovation Excellence, Green Innovation and a Social/Community Benefit Award.
The Melbourne Museum will host a special exhibition of the successful finalists’ innovations from 30 May to 12 July 2009. The public will be able to nominate the People’s Choice winner that will be announced, along with the other winners on 2 July 2009.
Applications close on 16 March 2009. Application forms and further details are available at www.nextbigthingaward.com.
