We’re looking for any ideas that have launched since January 1, 2017, from finished product to brave concept. We also want to award ingenuity and help foster innovation, which is why well-thought out ideas that are not yet in the field will also be considered.

Last year, 12 winners and 192 finalists appeared in Fast Company magazine (circulation 725,000) and on FastCompany.com (12 million visits per month).
