Especialty Crazy Idea Awards

Do you have an idea to improve the world of specialty crops that you are embarrassed to share? Have people told you that your ideas are especially crazy? Instead of talking yourself out of your crazy ideas, now is the time to listen to them.

When it comes to sharing crazy ideas, the challenge is often in finding a platform where ideas are valued. Now you have a chance to share your crazy ideas with a supportive group of peers in a setting that celebrates unique ideas to solve the challenges of minor uses.

Sign up for our Especialty Crazy Idea contest! You will have 5 minutes to share your idea at the Summit Opening Reception on February 5, 2024, in front of other minds that share your passion for minor uses and specialty crops. No presentations, no props. Just you, your crazy idea, the microphone, the stage and an audience of peers.

The audience will vote real time and at the end of the presentations there will be an award ceremony. There will be prizes, handshakes, and celebration. 

Most visionaries who have changed the world are crazy. This is our XPRIZE. Who knows? Maybe this could be your stepping stone on the path to EarthShot.
