PETA is awarding prizes of $1,000 to $10,000 to students who come up with a game-changing idea for an invention that the student can develop into a specific action plan or design to replace animal use. This award does not convey ownership rights to PETA or prevent you from patenting your invention. Applicants are asked to identify an area in which animals are still exploited and to create a potentially patentable, original idea or prototype that allows for their replacement. Inventions should be marketable as a viable alternative to the methods you seek to replace. Students can work in teams or as individuals. Prize amounts will be determined by PETA and are based on the workability, practicality, and promise of the suggested alternative.
