The Cade Museum for Creativity and Innovation opened applications for the 14th annual Cade Prize for Innovation recently.
For the first time since it first launched in 2010, the Case Prize applications will be open to everyone based in the United States. The prize winners will also receive $100,000 now.
The Cade Prize celebrates innovation by identifying and rewarding inventors and entrepreneurs who are addressing problems creatively in their field.
Applications are open until July 31. From there, 21 finalists will be announced on Aug. 18 and the final five announced on Aug. 28. The awards ceremony and grand prize winners will be announced on Sept. 28.
A grand prize winner will be selected from the five selected category winners: Agriculture and Environmental, Healthcare, Tech, Energy, and a Wildcard category for innovations that do not fall into traditional prize categories.
To be eligible, applicants may have no more than $500,000 in outside investment funding from investors received in exchange for stock or convertible notes. Applications may be submitted on the website with a $55 application fee.
