The Edison Awards has the opportunity to receive a $250,000 small business grant, but we need at least 250 votes to help us qualify.  Chase and LivingSocial, with support from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, have built a $3 million grant pool to support small business. 

Please help us by voting now (before June 30).  To vote, visit www.missionsmallbusiness.com. Scroll down and click "Log In and Support," search Edison Awards and then click vote.

A $250,000 grant will help us achieve endless possibilities, including growing our online and media presence and designing additional events. We will expand our outreach to students (grades 5-12) to understand and embrace the process of innovation and the critical role that science, engineering, technology, design, marketing and teamwork have in the overall process by creating a website for Edison Universe that will virtually connect the students with our community of mentors.  We will also work to build global awareness for nominations, allowing teams to be recognized and honored for their new product and service success.  VOTE TODAY!

GLO Science to be Featured on HSN

Winner of a 2012 Silver Edison Award for its GLO Brilliant Personal Teeth Whitening Device, GLO Science, Inc. will now be featuring their innovative new product on HSN (Home Shopping Network) on July 5 and 6.  Check here for times. 

G.L.O. (Guided Light Optic technology) uses professional elements of heat and light  in a closed-system, with a form-fitting, patented mouthpiece which seals in the active process of whitening.  This prevents the active oxygens from escaping the tooth surface, accelerates and stabilizes teeth whitening results, for whiter teeth without sensitivity.  All in the comfort of your own home. 

Seth Godin:  Winning with "Connection Innovation"

During the recent "Meet the Innovators Forum" in New York, author and innovator Seth Godin talked about innovation, marketing and social impact.  Godin is the creator of "The Domino Project," which won a Gold Edison Award in the new "Thomas A. Edison Marketing Award" category.  He described how winning ideas in the 21st century are the result of "connection innovation," a dramatically different approach from what had earlier been considered successful.  Watch Seth's 20-minute presentation now.
