Your Green Gadget invention could win $50,000!

Got a green gadget idea? It could land you $50,000 in cash and prizes! Live EDGE (Electronic Design for the Global Environment) is accepting design submissions from inventors who have designed unique products that both contain electronic components and have a positive impact on the environment.
Separate prize packages will be awarded to students and the general public. Each winner will receive a $25,000 cash prize as well as a $25,000 package of support services from design, marketing, legal, and commerce experts. Three runners-up will also receive $5,000 each.
Last years winner was a product called MyFan, a ceiling fan that combines an electronically commutated motor and controller, and aerodynamically efficient blade design that reduces fan input power by up to 66% of that of a traditional ceiling fan. It boasts auxiliary output channels that drive up to 20 watts of integrated LED lighting with up/down lighting modules.
For examples of potential entries, blog advice from past winners, and challenge details, check out the live EDGE site.
