Check out this great contest for American Women Inventors from Bed Bath & Beyond!

Do you have a great product idea?

Your invention could be sold in our stores!

Throughout history women have been responsible for some of the world’s greatest innovations.

Now Bed Bath & Beyond is looking for the next great generation of
American Women of Inventionsm.

In celebration of the 200th anniversary of the first patent awarded to a woman,we have partnered with Edison Nation to search for problem-solving product ideas from women across the nation. These could include products for any room in your home – products that make life easier, more comfortable, convenient, cleaner or better organized. 

Edison Nation is dedicated to empowering ordinary people and aspiring inventors by giving them a unique chance to bring their ideas to life.

There is no limit to the number of inventions you can submit. (Edison Nation will charge a minimal fee for each invention you submit to cover its product screening process.) Edison Nation will screen inventions submitted to the search and then present the best to Bed Bath & Beyond. Bed Bath & Beyond will evaluate the ideas presented with an eye towards turning the inventions into viable products to be sold in its stores. If your idea is selected, you’ll be paid a $2,500 advance and other compensation based on sales. (See EdisonNation.com for details.)

Bed Bath & Beyond invites you to let your voice be heard and have the power of your ideas and talents recognized. Together we can celebrate innovative women across this country!

Thank you so much Heather! I’m at the very beginning stage. I’ve created it and now I want to know if I need to patent it and if so there are so many sites that say they’ll do it for a fee?? Any and all help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks again!
