Simply put, “Next Bright Idea” is an idea competition. We want to foster and reward smart and innovative thinking and ideas to make the world a better place. Traditional business model ideas, non-traditional inspirations, ideas that can help the community, or a non-profit or civic organization. All ideas are strongly encouraged! Next Bright Idea finalists will be chosen through an online voting process at www.NextBrightIdea.com, and required to present their ideas in-person before a panel of judges on February 25, 2010. The Next Bright Idea winner will win $5,000 or other prizes to further develop their idea, and a slew of other resources to get their idea started!
