The Collegiate Inventors Competition is a national program designed to recognize and encourage graduate and undergraduate students in their quest to invent and develop new technologies and scientific breakthroughs.
Inventions must be more than a mere concept or idea. Inventions will be judged on their originality, inventiveness and on their potential value to society. A student need not have an issued patent in order to apply; however, Invent Now recommends that students begin the patent process as soon as possible.

Finalists will win an all-expense paid trip to the final judging round and Awards Ceremony in Washington, DC. The finalists will be competing for:
Graduate Student Grand Prize of $15,000
Graduate Silver Prize of $10,000
Graduate Bronze Prize of $5,000
Undergraduate Prize of $10,000
Undergraduate Silver Prize of $5,000
