Participants contend for $65,000 (USD) in total cash prizes, all while helping to show the world what the future of problem solving looks like.Over the course of nine months, from the opening of the application period through the final presentation and awards event, teams will compete to advance through up to four distinct phases, growing their ideas from an informal proposal into a robust and feasible solution informed by research, market analysis, and real-world prototyping and testing. Each step of the way, they will be guided by direct feedback from a panel of expert judges who will help them strengthen their ideas, push the limits of possibility, and support bringing their plans into fruition.https://www.wegeprize.org/2025-design-briefRead the full post on Bustler
