WHO PARTICIPATES?

The Genesis Generation Challenge welcomes multi-disciplinary teams of young adults to propose big ideas to better the world. Each team must consist of approximately 10 individuals and must designate a team leader (age 20-36). Other team members must be 18 years or older. Teams may represent nonprofit or for profit entities. Because the idea must offer a sustainable and scalable solution to an important problem, we are seeking social entrepreneurs and others with experience delivering projects with lasting and innovative change in their communities and the world.

WHY PARTICIPATE?

Are you passionate about solving a communal or global problem? Have you wondered how you could make your dream job a reality and do what you love? The Genesis Generation Challenge will turn passion into reality for up to ten winning teams, through grants of $100,000 (USD) each, connections to mentors, and opportunities to convene and learn from one another. Benefits exist even for those teams that do not win; they will become part of an active network of forward thinking and connected individuals from whom they can receive feedback and grow their ideas.

Begin Registration

SUBMIT APPLICATION

Each team must submit a complete application that meets specific requirements by October 28th. The Genesis Generation Challenge is designed to offer an open, fair, and transparent process for registrants. To inform your decision, even before you have registered or formed a team, we are offering you all of those application requirements. Please read them and consider the level of effort required to succeed.

Read The Application

GET FEEDBACK

Each team that completes an application will receive detailed feedback from a panel of highly credible judges (MEET THE JUDGES). To ensure fairness, five judges will score each application, and we will statistically normalize the review process, to ensure a LEVEL PLAYING FIELD for everyone. Judges’ scores and comments will be published, so that teams can receive valuable feedback. Learn more about the scoring tool that each judge will use, even before you have registered or formed a team.

Understand The Scoring Process

JOIN A COMMUNITY

Our goals include connecting forward thinking and entrepreneurial individuals “who want” to better the world. We offer tools to registrants that allow them to communicate and collaborate with each other, such as internal email, a suite of text and video chat capabilities, and a discussion forum. Each team that completes an application will review three of their competing teams’ applications. These exchanges are designed to build our community and promote knowledge sharing.

THE PEER REVIEW PROCESS

MEET YOUR JUDGES

There are two panels of judges who will score and comment on your completed application. The first is our EVALUATION PANEL, and they are responsible for assessing the initial applicant teams. The second is a smaller group of judges, our SELECTION COMMITTEE, who will review the Finalists and determine the winning teams, based upon input from the EVALUATION PANEL and any additional information that Finalists may be invited to provide.
