than 120 inventions, representing 73 institutions nationwide, were entered in this year's competition (a 33% increase from last year). The initial entrants included full-time undergraduate, graduate and post-doc students enrolled at any college or university at the time of the competition. The collegiate projects relate to many scientific disciplines including biomedical, microbiology, engineering, and information technology.

"We are excited about the increase in entries that were submitted for this year's Collegiate Inventors Competition. We received over 120 outstanding inventions, and while all were compelling, this year's winners exceeded the criteria and will be honored at an awards dinner on Friday, September 8," said Tom Hollingsworth, director of recognition programs for the National Inventors Hall of Fame®. "Each of our winners are extraordinary young scientists who have developed inventions that will benefit modern technology and science. We look forward to assisting the winners in the U.S. Patent process, hoping to some day see them inducted into the National Inventors Hall of Fame."

Each invention is judged on the originality and inventiveness of the new idea, process or technology and must be complete, workable, and well articulated. Entries are also judged on their potential value to society (socially, environmentally, and economically), and on their range or scope of use. This year is the tenth year the National Inventors Hall of Fame® has administered the Collegiate Inventors Competition.
