Do you have a fantastic idea or an invention that could change the world (or a small part of it at least)?

If so, the Minister for Industry and Science, Ian Macfarlane, wants to hear from you as part of The Australian Innovation Challenge.

The Challenge is open to individuals and teams of scientists, entrepreneurs, engineers, technologists and educators, as well as students and hobbyists, to enter the national innovation showcase before entries close on 7 September.

Each category winner will receive a cash prize to progress their innovation, and an additional cash prize will go to an overall winner across the professional categories.
