For the 12th year the Chicago Toy and Game Show (ChiTag) is hosting the young inventor challenge.
The Young Inventor Challenge provides an opportunity for children ages 6 to 18 to showcase their own original toy & game inventions to toy & game industry professionals, members of media and the general public and ignite their imagination, creativity and presentation skills.
The judging is split into two categories, Junior (6-10) and Senior (11-18). There is a $15 requested donation to help cover administrative costs when you participate in the Young Inventor Challenge. Anyone can participate, and you do not need to attend ChiTag. Participants and their immediate families however are invited to be guests to the Fair with complimentary admission to ChiTAG for the whole weekend should they decide to come.
The Young Inventor Challenge can provide a means of taking the inventions to even greater heights, with professional critiques from industry experts and the opportunity to show their work off to the public, toy industry, and members of the press.
Do you know someone who has been sitting on an idea and want to get it out there and show the world? This their chance.
DEADLINE TO ENTER IS OCTOBER 31, 2018! ALL ENTRY MATERIALS MUST BE RECEIVED BY NOVEMBER 2, 2018!
