The study employed the quantitative approach through a survey instrument design. Data were collected using questionnaires, and the constructs used were developed from prior research and previously tested for reliability. A total of 147 questionnaires were analyzed from the respondents in this study. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze the characteristics of the respondents including frequency, percentage, mean, and standard deviation, while the multivariate technique that was employed was regression. The findings revealed that significant relationships exist between the state of creativity and innovation among students of products development competition.
