Prize philanthropy has become an increasingly popular tool for achieving strategic philanthropy. Philanthropic competitions can be a powerful way to achieve transformative change, spur innovation, raise awareness of important issues, propel topic and field leaders into the spotlight, and provide new access points for traditionally overlooked solution-providers. However, competitions also pose several challenges that need to be considered alongside the benefits.
