If you have a great idea that could help Australia grasp opportunities or steel us against future economic or environmental shocks, you should enter the $65,000 The Australian Innovation Challenge awards.

Brought to you by The Australian in association with Shell, the awards are helping drive some of the nation’s best ideas to commercialisation or adoption.

You can enter whether you're a professional scientist or engineer, an educator, an innovator in community services, a student or a creative genius inventing in your shed.
