Program Description
The Food Solutions Challenge (“Challenge”) is designed to increase awareness of the connections between food production and climate change. The Challenge engages participants as both people who attend and host local events (“Participant”). Event hosts are Participants with special responsibilities to host local events (“Event Host”).
The Challenge is competition where eligible Participants submit entries in response to the Challenge prompt. The Challenge opens at 9:00 am PST on November 15, 2018, at which point Participants may enter the Challenge by submitting an entry in response to the Challenge prompt here. The Challenge will conclude at 11:59 pm PM PST on April 15, 2019.
The Challenge structure is as follows: Event Hosts agree to host Challenge event in their local communities using Challenge materials. Local event goals are twofold: 1) to raise awareness about the relevant subject areas; and 2) to ideate solutions in response to the Challenge prompt. Local event Participants will come up with an idea that they can submit to the Challenge prompt. Eligible entries will be evaluated by Net Impact staff in response to the Challenge criteria presented in the local event. Top Challenge entries will go on to the Challenge finals, where they will be evaluated by a judging panel of subject matter experts.
Prizes will be paid directly to the Challenge winner(s). Net Impact does not take any responsibility for any taxes related to the prizes. Winners will be notified within 10 day of judging.
