We can now announce the winner of the first edition of the Big Bang Challenge. The winner’s name is Heriberto Madrigal, of  American nationality, whose idea, “A single database for all peer-reviewed research” has etched out competition from the other candidates and managed to win first spot in our challenge.

“The selection was not easy. The International Jury has deliberated until the last moment and the competition for first place has continued until the very end. It was very hard for us to discard other excellent ideas that also deserved the award, but we are sure we are giving our support to a project that, according to the experts in our jury, is the best.”

Now all that is left is for the winner,  to sign a cooperation agreement with ideas4all, specifying how the money will be delivered, 25,000€ to put the idea into practice, and begin covering the expenses of starting up the project.

We at ideas4all would like to congratulate Heriberto Madrigal and offer all our encouragement in this entrepreneuring phase he or she is embarking upon.

And how about you, do you have a business idea? You do? Well, don’t worry, because there will surely be more editions of the BBChallenge.

Today is an important day for all participants and followers of the Big Bang Challenge. This morning has seen the announcement of the10 finalists, after careful analysis by the team at ideas4all.

The ten selected business plans have already been delivered to the international jury, who will now begin their analysis, vote on the projects, and finally, decide the winner of this first edition. This will not be a simple task as we have already confirmed during previous stages.

Some ideas have had to be discarded along the way, and we are sorry they have not made it to the end, but as we have already said on various occasions, there will be more editions of the Big Bang Challenge.

ideas4all wishes to congratulate the 10 finalists, wishing them the best of luck in this last stage of the contest.

We would like to communicate to the entire ideas4all Community that, after in-depth analysis of the different opinions within the team that makes up ideas4all and of the opinions received from users, and even after considering the debate generated in a forum created by various members of this community in Facebook, we have decided to eliminate negative votes.

We have taken into account the fact that some users only used this option in order to harm other ideas, and have finally decided it was best to eliminate the negative vote from ideas4all. If you disagree with this decision, you can leave a comment, freely expressing your opinion and how you value our decision.

In any case, as you all know, negative votes have not been taken into consideration in any of our competitions since January 2009. This means that the decision will not affect any ideas taking part in promotions, such as the latest Challenge of the Month, where we look for ideas to improve Christmas. We invite you to take part, there is a 400 $ prize and two 200 $ prizes. Click here for more information
