Nissan is looking for the next big innovation! To celebrate “everyday ideas” and inspire the creation of the next great innovation, Nissan is launching “Nissan Innovation Garage,” a social movement that offers everyone an opportunity to showcase their best ideas.

Aspiring innovators will be asked “Wouldn’t it be cool if____?” and Nissan could help bring their ideas to life. Each idea submitted online at www.NissanInnovationGarage.com will be reviewed and voted on by a panel of judges that will include established engineers from a variety of fields. Two grand prize winners will be selected to receive a $50,000 grant to turn their idea into a reality, as well as a brand new 2013 Altima. Nissan is also going to help unleash winning ideas on Kickstarter.com, a funding platform for creative projects.

“People from all walks of life have great ideas each and every day, and we think it’s important to nurture the spirit of innovation,” said Jon Brancheau, vice president, Marketing, Nissan North America. “By finding, cultivating and supporting the best and brightest ideas, we will give those who care about making the world around them a better place, the platform in which to do so.”

Submissions will be accepted through October 12.
