We’ve got some news about the Firebox Inventor Competition.

Thanks so much for taking the time to enter our Firebox Inventor Competition 2011/2012. Thanks also for your patience whilst we deliberated over the hundreds of entries we received.

Unfortunately we’ve got some bad news. Although we received some interesting entries, sadly we didn’t receive anything commercially strong enough to pursue this time. Nothing that screamed ‘WINNER’.

Ultimately this means that, with heavy hearts, we’re going to have to officially cancel the competition. We’re sorry it’s taken so long to reach this decision and communicate it to you. It’s been a tough call. Bringing a product to market is a tricky affair, especially without something scorching to get behind 100%.

We loved hearing from everyone and certainly don’t want to discourage anyone from trying to make their dream invention a reality. After all, it’s just our opinion. We don’t know everything! (Not even close).

We still love the idea of finding great products from our friends and customers, so expect the Inventor process to have a makeover and appear sometime in the future. However, until then - we hope you have a wonderful end of the year and a brilliant Christmas.

Thanks,
Firebox
