Submit your innovative idea to solve humanity's most pressing challenge. Winner is awarded $100,000. Due March 31
Each year, The Buckminster Fuller Institute (BFI) invites citizens from all over the world—including artists, scientists, students,
designers, architects, activists, planners and entrepreneurs—to submit their innovative solutions to some of humanity’s most
pressing problems. A $100,000 prize is awarded to support the development and implementation of one outstanding strategy.
Winning the Fuller Challenge requires more than a
stand-alone idea or innovation that focuses on one aspect
of a system failure. BFI looks for holistic strategies that
demonstrate a clear grasp of big-picture dynamics. If a
proposal emphasizes a new design, material, process,
service, tool or technology, it is essential that it be part of
an integrated strategy that simultaneously addresses key
social, environmental and economic factors.
BFI seeks initiatives that tackle urgent needs at a range of
scales: from macro-strategies that have the potential for
widespread impact, to local, community-based initiatives
with global relevance and replicability. Proposals at any
stage of development will be reviewed; non-profit,
for-profit and hybrid initiatives are all eligible.
