What to expect
First-time explorers welcome
Start your trial and search for three days for free! Use that time to find your patent publication to submit. One patent per attendee, two if you are a student.
Register your entry
Make sure to register your entry to the competition via the form submission. Only 15 spots are available, so claim yours early.
Make your case
On the night, you get up to two minutes to persuade the room yours is the creepiest. Then the audience decides. Good luck!
