Description
The Children’s Prize is a novel humanitarian contest to save children’s lives. A $1 million prize will be awarded to the best plan for preserving the lives of children who would otherwise die before the age of five.
The project is structured as an open web-based contest, with eligibility extending to everyone, both individuals and organizations, across the world. Proposals will be evaluated on the basis of the number of potential lives saved, the probability of success, and the ease of verification. The winner will receive funding to directly execute the life-saving interventions outlined in their submitted proposal.
The Children’s Prize was created by Ted Caplow, who feels that the death of a child is a special tragedy, considering the potential years of life lost, the innocence of the victims, and the impact on families.
Eligibility
The Caplow Children’s Prize contest (aka “the Children’s Prize” and “the Prize”) is open to ALL – including individuals, commercial companies, non-profit, community, and governmental organizations, worldwide. However, prize funds may only be used for charitable purposes, subject to expenditure responsibility.
Prize
The winner will receive $1 million US dollars to spend on saving children’s lives.
