‘Get Your Head in the Game’ Maryland Sports Invention Challenge
By Kids For Kids Co. announced the official launch of its 2nd annual Maryland invention challenge, “Get Your Head in the Game.”
This year’s competition will uncover the best new sports or sporting equipment ideas dreamt up by Maryland’s youth.
Winners will partake in an exciting awards ceremony in front of a roaring crowd at Camden Yards ballpark this spring. Winners can also expect to see their ideas become reality with the help of kid empowerment company By Kids For Kids.
The competition seeks ideas in the following categories: Aquatic Apparel/Accessories, Boards (water/snow/skate), Cycling, Equipment, Fitness, Ice/Snow/Winter, Off Road, Physical Education, Safety, Table Sports, Track & Field, Training, Weights/Cardio, Water Sports and more.
Entries must be submitted via the By Kids For Kids website no later than April 27, 2007 at 9:00PM EST. There is no entry fee. All kids currently resident in the State of Maryland, ages 5-19 qualify to compete.
The judges will look to “marketability” as the determining factor in selecting the winners. “Originality” and “inventiveness” will also be important judging considerations.
Grand Prize winners (up to 10) will receive a $1000 US Savings Bond, a licensing contract from BKFK, patenting (if patentable) for the invention and an all-expenses paid trip to the awards event at Camden Yards.
