1/1/2016 : We have a decision about the Prize results.
For the Grand Personal Manufacturing Prize, unfortunately, of the entries submitted, only two were sufficiently impressive, but neither of those two were able to come close to the Prize specifications. Hence, there is no award. We would like to, however, extend honorable mention to ‘Snappy’, one of the entries that comes very close to full self-replication.
There was similarly no entry for the Water Prize that came close to the specifications.
A Prize (as opposed to a grant) always runs this risk, because the criteria are by definition set to very high bar. If it is too easy, it does not force innovation above the general trendline.
The Uplift Prize may be resurrected at a future time, in a different form.
