Calling all creative geniuses, visionaries, mad scientists, tinkerers, ponderers and garden shed inventors:

We’ve teamed up with Stuff, the World’s best-selling gadget magazine, to launch Firebox Inventor: a national search to find the next must-have product for 2010 and it might just be your idea that makes it onto our shelves! It could be a cool new toy, handy gadget, or something else entirely: if it’s original and it fits our quirky range, we want to hear about it.

You don’t need to have an expensive prototype, polished business plan, or to take part in a scary formal pitch. You can send your entry to us in any format you like and there isn’t a Dragon in sight.

We’ve assembled an expert panel of judges from across the technology, toy and product development industry to pick out the very best idea from the bunch.

Watch our intro video (presented by "Ideas Man" Shed Simove), and find out how to enter!

The winning idea will be developed, manufactured and sold by Firebox on our award-winning website. What’s more; the winner will receive 50% of our profits for the lifetime of the product!

There is no age limit to this competition and no experience necessary. Your product suggestion could take the form of a drawing, photo, video, or doodle on a beer mat. Whether it’s a long email, a short tweet or arrives by carrier pigeon; any entry format goes.

Firebox Inventor, Ardwell Road, London SW2 4RT

The competition is now open and closes on 31st of December, 2009. So what are you waiting for? Send in your ideas and you could be 2009’s Firebox Inventor.
