In honor of the Ig Nobel awards (http://www.improbable.com/), InnoCentive is happy to announce this year's video Challenge: Unlikely Innovation. For those of you who are unfamiliar with the Ig Nobel awards, The Ig Nobel Prizes honor achievements that first make people laugh, and then make them think. The prizes are intended to celebrate the unusual, honor the imaginative and spur people's interest in science, medicine, and technology.
We're asking people, especially (but not only) college students, to create a video demonstrating Unlikely Innovation the idea that not all innovations are mainstream, and that innovation is limited only by one's creativity. Just as there are no stupid questions, there are no stupid innovations, and we'd like to see yours. If you can capture the theme of Unlikely Innovation in a video, you could win $5000 or an iPad!
We'll award people in three categories: best video overall, best video by a college student or team from the US and best video by a college student or team from outside the US. First prize will be $5000; the 2 runners up will receive iPads. More details can be found in the Challenge statement (https://www.innocentive.com/ar/challenge/9932966).
