MYCrave Open Innovation Challenge — always open

Pick any problem in the bank, or bring your own, and submit a researched solution at any time. Entries are reviewed monthly; validated solutions, partial achievements and useful research contributions are each recognised.

There is no closing date. Each month MYCrave professionals review new entries. Recognition is accurate to what was achieved: a validated solution (evidence it works), a partial achievement (a meaningful step), or a useful research contribution (a prior-art study, a feature comparison, a tested hypothesis). Entries that look protectable are invited to the confidential idea route — never published without permission.

Eligibility

Open to every member: students, faculty, researchers, independent innovators, founders and professionals, from any country. Teams welcome.

Timeline

No closing date — entries are reviewed monthly.

Rewards and recognition

Recognition certificate with verification code; contribution points and badges; eligible entries may receive professional-fee credits towards a filing (announced per month, never assumed).

Evaluation criteria

Submission requirements

A written entry (problem, approach, research log or references, evidence, limitations). Attach documents or links. Do not include confidential technical details you may later want to patent — describe at the level you are comfortable making public, and use Submit an Idea for the confidential part.

Confidentiality

Entries are visible to MYCrave reviewers and the entrant (and team). Nothing is published without the entrant's permission. Entrants keep ownership of their work.

Participation terms

By submitting you confirm the work is yours or your team's, that you have cited sources, and that you accept the community guidelines.
