Why Challenge Prizes?
Nesta states that “Challenge prizes offer a reward to whoever can first or most effectively solve a problem. They are a tried and tested method of attracting new innovators to change the status quo. At the same time, they also challenge incumbents to redirect their efforts or think about a problem in a new way. This leads to breakthrough solutions, creation of new cohorts of innovators, and can result in systemic change.“
