On Tuesday 1st May 2012, In’Genius – a movement that provides opportunities for ingenious individuals to present their solutions to problems in developing nations and receive funding for execution, began accepting applications from innovative Nigerian youths around the world for the first edition of its In’Genius Youth Competition.
The competition billed to take place in July 2012 at Moshmood Abiola University of Lagos is a medium through which young idea generators can express themselves intellectually while identifying the problems in the nation and providing the solutions.
The individual with the most inventive idea will receive a monetary award of N 2,500,000 (2.5 Million Naira) while the first runner-up and the 2nd runner-up will be awarded a cash prize of N 1,500,000 (1.5 Million Naira) and N 750,000 respectively.
The top ten finalists will not be left out as they will all wine and dine with government officials and captains of the industry while the top 20 finalists will be featured in In’Genius’ debut magazine.
Until Wednesday 20th June 2012, the competition’s first round will be open to ideas from various fields of study.
