The Big Idea Group just launched an Idea Hunt for Household Helpers.
Areas are Drawer Organizers, Food Storage, and Food Prep.
All ideas will be evaluated for licensing contracts. Deadline is 31 Oct 07. www.ideagroup.net

I think I have an idea that I may submit!

Hey Ideagirl,

Is the ideagroup.net the same thing as the bigideagroup.net?

No, that looks like it is for promotional advertising.
So I guess I posted the wrong web site. www.bigideagroup.net is correct

We just got this in from Allison at Big Idea Group:

Merchant Media Household Helpers Idea Hunt

Big Idea Group is running an Idea Hunt for Merchant Media, a manufacturer of a number of products for direct response TV. They’re seeking innovations in these three categories: drawer organization, food storage, and food prep. Inventors are invited to contribute ideas in any or all of these categories. Best concepts will be considered for licensing. In addition, Merchant Media will be awarding 30 merchandise packs to inventors.

Please visit http://www.BigIdeaGroup.net for more information.

Deadline is October 31, 2007.

I am going to submit an entry to bigideagroup.net
Does anybody have any previous experience with them?
I did the usual BBB and Google search. They appear to be a few years old. I could not find any formal complaints or litigation.

So did anyone else submit an entry into the Hunt? Ends 31 Oct.
I decided to only submit one- but it was my best one. I actually invented it, in response to the Hunt. Even if they don't like it, I have to thank them for providing the catalyst. I think my invention is a great idea (don't we all think that about all our babies), and I do plan on doing something with it no matter what!

I heard back from Big Idea Group

I just got a package in the mail today from Big Idea Group. Apparently, my idea was "one of the best" and I was awarded a prize pack of products from Merchant Media LLC. I just received a free SmartSpin and Pasta Pro. Ideagirl, I hope you heard good news from them as well.
