Can you design a business or NGO that solves one of the Distribution Challenges? If yes, then apply for the D-Prize!

-Agriculture
-Energy
-Global Health

Prize

Up to 25 of the most promising proposals will be selected for funding awards, regardless of which challenge track was selected.

Eligibility
-D-Prize challenges are open to anyone or any teams. The sole restriction is that individuals and their immediate family on the judging panel may not participate as a contestant.
-D-Prize is also open to any business model (for profit, non-profit, and everything in between).
-Applicants should have enormous ambition, and can imagine themselves as successful entrepreneurs. Applicants are ready to launch their new venture, and – if a pilot proves successful – applicants are excited to grow it into a world changing organization.
-A student having existing commitments should have a clear idea how to transition into a full-time founder.
-D-Prize is exclusively interested in ventures that will scale distribution of an already proven poverty intervention in the developing world.
