I am actually very pleased with the whole process. They give you alot
of background information on what the client is looking for, target market,
things they are not interested in, and all kinds of stuff. You have to write up a proposal- about 2 pages, and mail or fax it to them. They tell you in advance how many prizes, and of what amount or type they are paying.
In the Household Helper they selected 30 winners and they all received
a prize package. It was a smart spin, and a pasta pro pot. Everything
is done in a timely manner, and very professional. For the Pasta sauce
idea Hunt they will pay $2000 for the first place, and $500 for next 4 places, and price package for 20 more.
I can't complain. The item I invented for the last idea hunt, was in
response to that hunt. So without them, I wouldn't have invented it.
And if I say so myself, I do think it's a good one. I made several proto-types and use them everyday- and they are wonderful.
