The 51st annual Invention & Idea Showa"¢ 2008 and IdeaTango have teamed up to launch an online invention contest, where the winner gets a free booth at the show.

The Invention & Idea Show will be held June 13-14, 2008 in Redwood Falls, Minn. Inventors from all across the country will have the opportunity to test market their inventions and show off to attending product scouts, manufacturers, and investors.

According to Deb Hess, director of the show, "We've introduced some major changes this time for the benefit of the exhibitors. Inventors can now promote their inventions even if they are still in the idea stage, or if there is a difficulty in displaying them because of size or other issues."

IdeaTango, an online business that connects inventors with information, resources and tools to help them successfully develop their inventions, frequently hosts contests that to help inventors, most recently offering free tickets to an educational seminar on inventing.

"The Invention & Idea Show has been helping inventors since the last 50 years," says Bryan Daigle, president and founder of IdeaTango. "We are both in the business of helping people get their ideas off the ground, and I am proud to announce that we've arranged a wonderful surprise for the inventors who wish to take part in this year's expo!"

Details on how to enter the contest, including how inventions will be judged, can be found at 'http://www.ideatango.com'.

The Invention & Idea Show will be open to the public from 11:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. on both days. The awards ceremony is scheduled on Friday evening.
