Innovation contests are initiatives that generate incentives for the creation of new ideas. Some institutions support these initiatives through inducement actions that reward innovative ideas. Through the issuance of notices, these institutions carry out selection processes. The objective of this article was to evaluate the adherence of the IFBA's ideas program to its innovation policy and to make some comparisons with programs of other institutions. The applied methodology was exploratory bibliographical, documental research and in the electronic addresses of competitions at international and national level and in the media in general. From the analysis the strengths and weaknesses of the program were demonstrated and improvements were suggested. It is concluded that IFBA's ideas program is in line with the Institute's innovation policy and similar competitions of the same quality, but that it can increase its visibility by adding the suggestions proposed here.
