If you’re from NTU or NIE and have been chewing over that Big Hairy Audacious Goal (BHAG) or Idea of yours, The BIG Idea Competition organized as part of the NTU Entrepreneurship & Innovation (E&I) Festival might be your chance to get some recognition for it.
They welcome ideas which can be “far-fetched or realisitic, conventional or revolutionary, dull or exciting”.
Ideas submitted are Twitter-styled 140 characters or less, and you can submit as many ideas as you want. Examples of BIG ideas given are “websites that auctions junk like broken laser points” and “an iPhone app that shakes virtual babies” (we know how that one turned out).
The top three ideas will be chosen based on: “Most Creative”, “Most Popular” and “Most Noble”. Each winner will get a netbook (they didn’t say what brand).
All ideas will be published online for audience voting but the entries will also be “screened by the E&I Commmitte”. So, will the winners be chosen purely as audience-choice? Or just decided by the Committee or a mixture of both?
Competition is open for entries from August 13-21, 2009. Submission of entries closes on August 21 and winners published online on August 31.
The Idea Bank would be a good way to spark your own brainstorming, don’t you think? Go on and try to spot gems, though as of writing, there are only four ideas there.
