11 & 12 November 2015 – Ideation Sessions
Location: The Publicis Drugstore, time for each session TBC
As an additional support for participants we will hold a number of ideation sessions (3hrs long) at the Publicis Drugstore in London. During these sessions our team will guide participants through the documentation and help to develop concepts. Teams attending the ideation sessions will also be given a connected toothbrush to take back and work on their prototype with. However, if you are not in the UK but would still like to take part we can arrange webinar sessions too. Please mail hackthebrush@minibarlabs.com if you wish to join remotely. More info on the sessions and RSVP.

In order to go through to the Pitch Day we would like you to submit a short proposal (300 words max) to outline your idea including any mockups you may have. Please email submissions to hackthebrush@minibarlabs.com before 12 midnight, 13 November 2015.
16 November 2015 to 25 November 2015 – Prototyping Period
Following the submission deadline we will read through each idea and select up to 10 ideas to be taken onto the next stage – prototyping. Developers will then have until 25 November to prototype their ideas for presentation at the Pitch Day.
