I like #5 the best
It is unbelievable how hard is to innovated about innovation, isn’t it?
On my personal point of view i can say:
Innovation Formula
If:
I is Innovation
K is Knowledge
o is Obsolescence
N is Need
i is Imagination
A is Abundance
c is Conformity
ph, t and n are Variables of Evolution and/or Aptitudes
ph Physical
t Tenacity
n Negligence
(((imposible to write my equation on a correct math way )))
^ means Exponential
I=[Integral of](phK^o(tN^i / nA^c))
So that way we can say that Innovation is the integration of Physical Aptitudes as a factor of knowledge empowered by the obsolescence of personal criteria multiplied by the Tenacity factor of the need empowered by the personal imagination divide or de-multiplied by the rate of negligence factor of the abundance empowered by the comfort or conformity over the goods.
And if you consider that I am the winner I will be happy to donate to the Atlanta´s Furniture Bank the half of the prize.
Call me, I may have few ideas…
But must know better the problem
Ciao

I believe #5 is the best.
I vote for #5, it is the best definition.
My vote goes to #5 — Innovation transforms useful seeds of invention into solutions valued above every existing alternative.
#4
Here;s my 2 cents:
innovation is an invention that has a social or economic impact on the world, it changes the way we do things.
Here is my shortest definition (Twitter-like) but not entered in the original call “practical creativity”
