Can you hack, concoct, devise or contrive a wanted resource using only locally available materials?
You can..?  Really...?
Now you can show it off and win some amazing prizes


Rules of engagement:
  1. You can only use materials that are locally available
  2. Your end-product should have comparable functionality to the product it aims to replace
  3. It should be simple to hack, concoct, devise or contrive
  4. It should be novel (not have been described before)

Who can subscribe?
Any (yes any) acute care worker can enter the competition.  

The aim of this competition is to highlight innovative, novel approaches to resource limitations such as the examples published in AfJEM's Ujuzi (Practical Pearl) section.  You can submit as many innovations as you like.  Duplicate submissions from the same author(s) will be disregarded.  You do not have to attend the EMSSA/ WCDEM2015 conference to enter.

Got an idea?  
Then apply online using the form below.  You'll need a 4000 character description along with either a picture summary or a video (using YouTube or Vimeo) to subscribe.  Closing date extended to 15 April.  Winners to be announced at the EMSSA/ WCDEM2015 conference

If you can't see a application form below then your security settings are too strict.  As we'd not like you to miss out on showcasing your innovation, you can download an entry form here, and subscribe by emailing it to the editor in chief
