OVERVIEW OF THE COMPETITION
Before something is a breakthrough, it’s a crazy idea. The X PRIZE Foundation (http://www.xprize.org ) is looking for your crazy green ideas to become the next X PRIZE. So with the help of Prize Capital we’ve created the $25,000 “What’s your crazy green idea?” Video Contest to find out what crazy ideas are out there that could become breakthroughs.
The rules are simple.
1. Submit a 2 minute video to this group by October 31, 2008 explaining what you think should be the next Energy and Environment X PRIZE: http://www.youtube.com/groups_addvide...
2. We'll post the three most viable ideas to http://www.xprize.org on November 15.
3. The public will be given two weeks to vote for the winner on http://www.xprize.org
The most creative, revolutionary idea and video will receive $25,000 and could become the next great X PRIZE!
Be sure that your video answers the following questions:
1. What is the Grand Challenge or world-wide problem that you are trying to solve?
2. What is the specific prize idea (goal, rules, judging criteria)?
3. How will this prize lead to benefits for humanity?

You can also watch Peter Diamandis, Chairman and CEO of the X PRIZE Foundation, pitch the Ansari X PRIZE here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-aiivi...
While we're open to any ideas that people have, judging will be based on the completeness of your concept.
So get those idea generators and cameras rolling. We're asking for your help; let's see your best!
