$1000.00 is up for grabs this year at the Manitoba Ag Days Inventor's Showcase.
 
Media Coordinator Kristen Phillips says there are 10 entries this year, featuring a wide array of products.
 
Phillips says the display, located in barn 4, is one of the more popular events at the show.
 
"It's definitely something you want to check out," she said. "It's definitely a draw to the show. There's always something new and exciting and I think that the people spend a lot of time on their products and so it's something you want to make sure you take in during the show."
 
She adds most of the inventions entered into the competition go on to become manufactured products.
 
The winners will be announced Thursday morning.
