Enter the “Create the Future” design contest 2014

Want to create the next big thing? The 12th annual NASA Tech Briefs magazine “Create the Future” design contest is a challenge to engineers and students worldwide.

Responsible for bringing attention to product designs that increase the quality of life, improve the efficiency and quality of healthcare and helping to reduce dependence on non-renewable energy sources, the contest, which was launched in 2002 by the publishers of NASA Tech Briefs magazine, helps stimulate and reward engineering innovation.

Global recognition and a cash prize of $20,000 will be awarded to the winner, who will be chosen from the winners in seven entry categories including aerospace & defense, consumer products, electronics, machinery & equipment, medical, sustainable technologies, and transportation & automotive. Previous contests have produced more than 9,000 design ideas from engineers, educators and students in more than 100 countries.

Entries are being accepted now through July 1, 2014. To learn more and to enter the contest, visit createthefuturecontest.com.
