interactive digital commerce company (evine.com), today announced
the premiere of “Inventor Showdown,” a reality selling show
featuring top inventors from across the country who will compete
for the prize of “top inventor.” Competing head-to-head in a
bracket-style show format, inventors discovered by Akos “The
Solutionist” Jankura, a world-acclaimed inventor known for his
problem-solution products, will vie for viewers’ votes during a
five-week series starting Sunday, March 4.

viewers are looking for new and unique products that have a
compelling story behind them. ‘Inventor Showdown’ is the perfect
format for our customers to discover new product while using their
voting power to help a budding inventor get their big break.”
Throughout the five-week series on Evine, “Inventor Showdown”
will feature four new contestants per episode with one winner from
each moving on to participate in the finale show. The inventors,
who were hand-picked by Akos Jankura, will have the opportunity to
showcase their products and share with viewers their personal
stories behind the items. Fans can vote for their favorite by
purchasing their products while the show is airing, online or on
their mobile devices. The four qualifying rounds will air Sunday
mornings starting March 4 at 8:00am ET with the finale on Sunday,
April 8, where one winner will be crowned. The winner of “Inventor
Showdown” will be invited back to Evine and receive future
programming to sell their items.

throughout my career, but I am particularly thrilled with the
lineup of individuals we have assembled for this series,” said Akos
Jankura. “They each bring something unique and innovative to Evine,
and I am excited to see them compete live on a television stage.

problem-solving and easy-to-use features. I can’t wait to see who
emerges as the victor!”
