*Update: Sorry to say - I received a letter today informing me that EZ-Robot does not qualify as an innovation and therefore my nomination has been removed.

I'm so excited and happy to be a nominee for the national $100,000 Manning Innovation Awards. Proudly sponsored by Innovate Calgary, this year's Manning Innovation Awards feature a record nine nominees from southern Alberta contending for the country's largest innovation prize, and I'm one of them!
"Canada is home to many successful revolutionary industry innovations, and it is organizations such as the Manning Awards that can really propel their success," said DJ Sures, President, EZ-Robot. "It is an honour to be recognized as a nominated Canadian innovator, and I am excited about possible future opportunities that may come with being a Manning Award winner."
The $100,000 top purse, plus $25,000 and $10,000 awards, are presented each year to Canadians who have demonstrated recent innovative talent and successfully marketed their innovations. The nominees are being recognized at a celebration tonight in Calgary and the winners will be announced at the annual Awards Gala in Ottawa on October 17, 2012.
"These are Canada's most prestigious awards for innovators and can have a tremendous impact on the individuals and companies who win. It is also important for Canadians to recognize the value that this spirit of ingenuity brings to the nation as a whole," said David Mitchell, President, Manning Awards Foundation. "As the province with the largest numbers of nominees this year Alberta is showing its leadership in recognizing and celebrating the significant contributions of its local innovators."
The innovations from the nine southern Alberta nominees affect all walks of life, and range from new security technologies and novel processes in oil and gas to advances in health care and innovative equipment for the music industry.
The Ernest C. Manning Awards Foundation has been recognizing and encouraging innovation in Canada since 1982. By means of a nomination, Canadian resident citizens, who have demonstrated recent innovative talent in developing and successfully marketing a new concept, process or procedure, may be eligible for one of these awards: Principal Award ($100,000), Award of Distinction ($25,000), Innovation Awards (2 at $10,000).

The awards are named after former Alberta premier Ernest C Manning, who was a champion of Canadians who turned their creative genius into beneficial technology.

Haha apparently bringing advanced robots to the consumer market with properties of becoming a standard - doesn't qualify as an innovation
Have you seen pirates of the silicon valley? This past 7 months reminds me of the first 45 minutes of that movie
Man! what do they want???
You are the winner in OUR eyes.
:-)
F&*& them. Your getting more famous by the day. I can see your kits in every school in America by 2015. Let me know if you need some help with that. I use to be a pretty good salesmen.
DAM you should get that award,maybe next time they can give it to you i hope
Thanks everyone
It would have been nice - however, it is a risk for the older people in their organization to see the value in new technologies. They tend to stick with things they know - from experience. So an innovation like Robotics is a complicated task to wrap their mind around - and that is very understandable
It is neat - everyday I have friends and business aquentenances email me articles about robotics in the news. You can't escape it! Robotics are everywhere. EZ-Robots soon too!
There you go teasing us again! "EZ-Robots soon too"
We know you will be announcing a new platform. Enquiring AI's need to know!........
DJ you look better in all dress up then that funny disney shirt you are wearing
robotmaker! your hilarious!
