The Empowered Children Prize Design (formerly the Lost Children prize design) is an ambitious initiative that aims to identify transformative breakthroughs, with the purpose of incentivizing individuals and groups to implement them.

This project uses multiple methodologies to assess the current landscape and problems associated with the legal recognition or formal identification of children worldwide, to ensure we design a prize competition that helps drive innovative solutions for ‘lost children’.

The final product of this process of researching and discussions, the Prize Design, will provide the outline of what the winning team must accomplish to be awarded the prize.

Join this online community of experts to get involved, and share your wisdom with the crowd!

The Challenge

A lack of legal identification presents a serious problem for millions of children worldwide. One in four children under the age of five have never had their births registered, thereby lacking an ID and access to basic services such as health care and education. In the absence of legal recognition, these children can be forced into marriage and labor markets before a legal age, become victims of human trafficking, or end up trapped in a life of criminality. How can we create a future in which all children have access to this fundamental right?

Here at XPRIZE, we are designing a new prize competition to incentivize innovations to provide digital and legal identity to these millions of children that protects and empowers them, and helps them thrive.

The Goal

We are designing an XPRIZE to find innovative ways to help ‘lost children’ receive legal recognition.

The Prize Design will provide the outline of what the winning team must accomplish to be awarded the prize and define the parameters of the XPRIZE competition. It is audacious, yet achievable.

Your Role

The community is currently debating the challenges and opportunities associated with helping ‘lost children’ receive the proper legal recognition they need.

We invite you to join us and other experts from around the world to share your wisdom with the crowd and advise us on the design of this XPRIZE Lost Children Prize Design!
