Less shark tank and more koi pond, Walmart’s new inventor’s contest, Get on the Shelf, invites anyone in the U.S. to submit a video of a self-developed product between now and February 22 for a chance to “Get on the Shelf” , at Walmart – at least an online shelf , and in some select stores. Winners will be chosen by popular vote at the website starting March 7.
According to the Huffington Post, “The initiative is headed by @WalmartLabs, the company’s e-commerce and social development platform. “We know there are some great undiscovered products that have not yet reached our shelves,” Venky Harinarayan, senior VP of global e-commerce and co-head of @WalmartLabs, said in a statement. “We are removing these barriers by giving anyone a chance to launch their product at Walmart and reach millions of shoppers nationwide.”"

I have submitted my fishing invention that makes fishing more fun called the DualFin and BulletBobber. They are fishing floats that kind of work like a stunt kite but sit on the water. It moves to the left or right and flips direction and color when given a little tug by flicking your rod tip. If you are fishing in a river or stream you can get it to go wherever you want downstream without recasting. If you are fishing in a lake or pond you can reel and make it go left or right to reach places you can’t cast. They can explore and discover new territory that others cannot reach. http://www.bulletbobber.com
Please vote for the DualFin and BulletBobbers starting March 7th
