To pay tribute to the country that taught us what great product design means…
Together, we’ll invent a product and donate the proceeds to benefit the victims of the tsunami.
All of Quirky’s gross profits on the item, as well as all community “influence payments” (10% of indirect sales, 30% of direct sales), will be allocated toward tsunami relief efforts. By participating in this project, you agree to these terms.
Submissions are absolutely free, and ideation ends Monday, March 14, at noon. Let’s work together to make a difference. SUBMIT YOUR IDEA NOW.

Hi Quirky Team,
how or where can we submit our idea?
Currently there’s only the “Submit Any Idea” (non-free, $10) and the “Submit A iPad 2 Accessories Product” (free) area available.
Quite confusing…
Help is much appreciated.
Thanks and best,

Hi Jess,

Our prayers and thoughts are with the people of Japan… and I hope the ideas will be great for that reason – perfect idea to help this way!
Best,

Since we are all winners in this brief. Why don’t we have the ideas go live right away like ID concept phases so people can jump on board with the ideas and submit better ideas on the fly and get juices stirring. Cheers.

I just wanted to say this is a fantastic idea. I’d also like to suggest that whatever we come up with be manufactured in Japan, as well, to further benefit the area. Not sure if that’s possible, but it would be nice.

Sorry but I think this is a bit too cynical for me. Quirky gets publicity for it’s “crowd sourcing help effort” and noble thought of allocating profits to tsunami efforts. Right.

Not a publicity stunt at all. Just trying to do our part!

Hi Quirky- Can we get the Japan Brief Submissions listed on the influence page (it’s not listed)? http://www.quirky.com/projects/698-Japan-Benefit-Japan-Benefit
It needs to be seen for participation
