2024 Public Vote - Open

The Challenge: Throughout the previous Medal of Excellence editions, our team of experts has always chosen a specific challenge for participants to submit solutions to. But as we celebrate a decade of sustainable diversity, we have chosen to leave this year’s challenge OPEN. Open to all innovators and divergent thinkers to submit their excellent ideas/innovations/solutions irrespective of their fields be it; Engineering, Agriculture, Economics, Health, ICT, Governance, Climate and others.

Reward: Still in celebration of Innovation Consortium’s new age, for this year’s winner(s) reward, we chose to multiply the inaugural Medal of Excellence cash prize (UGX 1M) by the number of years we have been at the top of providing sustainable solutions in Uganda (10). One million for each year we have Innovated, Incubated, Implemented and Inspired, And a BONUS one million for this year’s excellence, therefore;

1st Place Prize: UGX 11,000,000/= or USD 3,000
2nd Place Prize: UGX 5,500,000/= or USD 1,500
3rd Place Prize: UGX 3,500,000/= or USD 950
