Challenge Prizes (also called ‘inducement 
prizes) offer a reward to whoever can first or mosd 
effectively meet a defined challenge. They act as an 
incentive for meeting a specific challenge, rather] 
than being a reward for past achievements (prizes! 
that do this, such as the Nobel Peace Prize, arc] 
referred to as ‘recognition’ prizes).
What can prizes do?
Challenge Prizes aim to do various things 
and have prompted a range of different kinds of 
changes in the world. Sometimes they aim to solve! 
big problems and if they are successful produce! 
major breakthroughs in human knowledge and 
practice. For example, a recently launched prize! 
from the Methuselah Foundation (whose mission is 
to extend healthy human life) offers a, million US 
dollars reward for the production of an artificial 
liver. The prize aims to solve the problem of the] 
global organ shortage,/and if successful w ill prompt] 
a major breakthrough in human knowledge and 
development.
Prizes can play a role in accelerating progress 
towards ambitious goals. They do this by shining 
a powerful light on an issue or opportunity and 
providing an incentive for lots of different innovators; 
and investors to make meeting the challenge a 
priority. The ten million US dollars Ansari X-Prize

for the creation of a private re-useable passenger 
space aircraft (awarded in 2004) was a massive 
success. It leveraged private investment in multiples 
of the original reward. Prizes have created new 
markets and prompted the development of totally 
new industries.
When Charles Lindbergh became the first 
pilot to fly non-stop from New York to Paris 
winning the Orteig prize in 1927, his celebrity 
transformed the aviation industry. The number of 
US passengers increased thirty-fold in three years, 
while applications for pilot licenses increased 300 
per cent.
But prizes don’t always need to make radical 
leaps or aim at ambitious, complex goals. People 
also use prizes to:
Shine a light on a neglected issue or problem.
Encourage other people to invest in solving a 
problem or making advances.
Bring new products and services to market.
Prompt new collaborations and partnerships.
Gather new information and data on an issue.
Identify great ideas.
Identify great practice.
Build the capacity of new innovators and support 
their entry into the market.
