Samsung Tomorrow Solutions 2019, an idea competition aimed at creating a better world, has been open globally. The contest is an annual event which was held for the first time in 2013 with an aim to contribute to society by developing creative ideas to solve social problems. This year is the second time the event is being held globally.

Applicants can submit their ideas in four categories, including education, health/medicine, environment/safety, and local community development. Samsung Tomorrow Solutions helps the applicants develop and implement their ideas utilizing Samsung's technology and capabilities, making it distinctive from other contests that simply offer monetary prizes.

Now in its seventh year, the competition boasts a number of successful submissions that have made an impact on society such as a thermal imaging system and a portable diagnostic device for eye diseases. These solutions are now being used in fire rescue missions and in health care services in developing countries, respectively, contributing to local communities and creating a better world.

Teams who advance to the final round of the competition after passing the preliminary and semi-final rounds will be eligible for financial support for further development of their solutions as well as mentoring by Samsung employees and experts in the relevant field. A total of 200 million Korean Won ($180.000) in prizes will be awarded to the winners who will put their solutions to the test by developing and trialing them.

Samsung Tomorrow Solutions is open to anyone who wants to contribute to creating a better world. Interested applicants can apply at the Samsung Tomorrow Solutions website (http://www.tomorrowsolutions.org) byMay 16th.
