Hasbro’s Women Innovators of Play Challenge – Submissions End November 12

Hasbro is inviting women innovators to submit their own ideas for toys or games to Hasbro, where a panel of judges will select winners based on various factors such as innovation, mass marketability, fun factor, and more. Selected winners will win a $10,000 cash prize, mentorship and trip to Hasbro World Headquarters in Pawtucket, Rhode Island for a “Day at Hasbro.”

The second annual Challenge is part of Hasbro’s larger Women Innovators of Play initiative. In fact, women account for 70% of toy purchases but only represent 29% of C-Suite roles in the industry. Hasbro is committed to inspiring and elevating more women’s involvement in the toy and game industry. This year also saw the return of Hasbro’s Women Innovators of Play virtual event, which took place in October with a full lineup of speakers from Hasbro and other industry leaders and influencers.

WHAT: Hasbro announced their Women Innovators of Play Challenge – following the Women Innovators of Play conference – to find the next great woman-led mass market toy or game.

Ideas will be judged on innovation, mass marketability, fun factor and playability, design and aesthetics manufacturability.
