IT could be a product, a service, or simply a concept. It might be about business, community, the arts, sport, or another facet of Hunter life. The Smart Ideas Competition is being run in conjunction with the Hunter Innovation Festival.
Entries must be 500 words or less, and accompanied by an illustration or photograph/s, or in the form of a video no longer than three minutes.
The winner will receive $250 cash, plus a $1000 fund to develop the idea, access to a mentor through the University of Newcastle, and an advisory package from the Business Centre Newcastle Region (including two consultations and three workshops).
Creators of the top three original ideas will be asked to make a 90-second presentation to the Hunter Innovation Festival breakfast launch on Tuesday, July 14 at Watt Street Arc, Newcastle.
Email your entries to
online.media@theherald.com.au with ‘‘Hunter Innovation Smart Ideas’’ in the subject line. Videos can be emailed or brought in to the Newcastle Herald offices at 28Bolton Street, Newcastle. Entries close 5pm on Tuesday, June 30.
