Tweet

SPIRIT Halloween, the nation’s biggest Halloween costume and supplies retailer, has partnered with Edison Nation to discover the best Halloween creations for 2009. EdisonNation.com (an invention/idea website) is hosting the search and will present the top ideas to Spirit Halloween after the search closes. Their deadline to submit: November 11th.

If your idea is selected, you will receive a $2500 advance and annual payments based on the product’s successful launch through Spirit Halloween.
I guess the bottom line is that since most people are already busy inventing the next-best Halloween costumes and gadgets, why not get paid for it?

Thought other Halloween-fanatics might be interested... happy haunting!
