Award Winners Show their Pride
Savvy winners of Edison Awards make the decision to tout their Award-winning status by incorporating the Winning Seal on their websites, in product packaging and throughout their corporate communications, letting their customers -- and the world -- know that their new product or service has been recognized as being worthy of association with the Edison brand. Check out just a few examples of how 2012 winners have chosen to demonstrate their pride in winning...
Liquipel is a patent pending process for super hydrophobic nano coating, which is used to protect electronic devices from damage due to exposure to liquids. Liquipel is the first company in the world to make this technology available to consumers and will forever change how people use their electronic devices. Liquipel won Silver in the Material Science category.
Pixel Optics' emPower! is the world's first electronically focusing eyewear and is designed to address presbyopia, a common condition where the eye loses its ability to focus on near objects. emPower! took home a Gold Award in the Lifestyle & Social Impact category.
A Big Thank You!
Last month we appealed to our readers to help us qualify for the Mission: Small Business competition hosted by Chase and LivingSocial in which small businesses vie for grants of $250,000. 
Thank you to all of you who logged in to vote for the Edison Awards! We handily reached (and far exceeded) the minimum number of votes required for eligibility.
Although we won't know whether or not we've won until September 15th, we're excited about the prospect of winning a grant of this size, and what it can mean for our efforts to help inspire and foster tomorrow's innovators. Thank you so much for your support. We look forward to sharing some good news, so keep your fingers crossed! |
