Only a few days left to submit ideas to Hasbro’s Women Innovators of Play Challenge

There’s only a few days left to submit ideas to Hasbro’s Women Innovators of Play Challenge.

The Challenge is open until close of play on October 12th, and individuals who identify as a woman – or lead a team (maximum of five people) and identify as a woman – can submit toy or game ideas to the challenge.

Submitted ideas will be judged on innovation, fun factor and playability, design and aesthetics, mass marketability, and manufacturability. Hasbro’s panel of judges will evaluate the submissions and select the three most promising innovations.

The three winners will be announced in November. Each will receive $10,000, an all-expenses paid trip to Hasbro HQ in Rhode Island for “A Day in the Life” experience and a mentorship session with one of Hasbro’s top women leaders.

The Challenge is open to anyone 18 years or older who identifies as a woman in the following countries: Australia, Canada (excluding Quebec), France, Germany, Israel, Japan, Hong Kong, New Zealand, Spain, United Kingdom, and USA.
