Submit an ideaStep 4 of 7
Name your idea and add a cover image
Give your idea a clear name and a picture that stands out.
Your idea’s name and cover image are the first things people see in lists of ideas, so make them count. Both are at the top of your idea.
Under Idea name, type a name into Name your idea. Name it after the problem it solves or the solution it offers.
Once you’ve typed a few letters, Related ideas shows up to three ideas with similar names. Click one to read it and check that nobody has suggested the same thing.
Under Cover Image, click Choose a cover image, then click to browse and pick an image.
In Crop image, drag the image to choose the square part to show, then click Save. Your cover image shows under Cover Image.
A new idea is named after its challenge, such as Idea for Greener Ways to Work, until you rename it. You can’t submit an idea with that name. Some challenges show their own hint under Idea name.
We recommend a cover image of 500 × 500 pixels. To use a different part of it, click Re-crop; to take it off, click Remove and confirm Remove cover image. If you don’t add one, the first image you upload to an image question is used, or one of your organisation’s stock images.
Some challenges don’t use cover images; then Cover Image doesn’t show.
