The Dreamcatcher Charitable Foundation Presents The BIg Idea 2 with the Council for the Advancement of Native Development Officers.
Enter the Big Idea contest for an opportunity to showcase your great ideas. If you have a new product, a new process, or a new program that is directed at the Aboriginal marketplace, or if you are an Aboriginal inventor with an invention you need the world to see, we want to showcase your idea. Make your pitch to our panel of investors for possible financing of up to $250,000 for your innovation or idea!
The 2010 Big !dea Contest is open to any person, organization, company or society that has developed or is using a new product directed at the Aboriginal marketplace. This means that the company can be an independent sole owner ship operation or a multinational corporation as long as the product is directed towards the Aboriginal marketplace.
Each regional winner will win an all-expenses-paid trip to the finals to be held in Hamilton, Ontario on October 21, 2010 where they will have the opportunity to pitch their idea to a panel of celebrity judges. They will also be awarded two tickets to attend the 2010 Dreamcatcher Fund Black Tie Gala to be held the evening of October 21st where the final winners will be announced, with prizes ranging from $1,000 and $15,000. Their pitch may be recorded for potential television broadcast. All participants who move through to the finals will attend a black-tie gala event where the final winners will be announced, with prizes between $1,000 and $15,000.
