Pennsylvania. If you’re one of them, there’s a chance to take your bright idea and turn it
into a reality.
Now in its third year, InnovationErie Design Competition is a collaborative effort
among professionals in the science, art, manufacturing, engineering and design (SAM &
ED) industries, and emerged to encourage local economic development by allowing
people to showcase their product ideas, with the possibility of taking them to the next
level: the marketplace. The competition seeks ideas for products that can be
manufactured in the Erie region.
The contest is open to all individuals, 18 and over, whose product design could be
manufactured in the Greater Erie Area. The contest begins by submitting an electronic application to InnovationErie@gmail.com by midnight, May 11, 2011. Design entries
will be juried by an independent panel of competition judges who will select semifinalists. Semi-finalists will exhibit works at the Erie Art Museum July 16-October 16,
2011 and compete for the Grand Prize, over $10,000 worth of assistance prizes.
Interested candidates can find out more information and download an application by
