A sustainability intelligence and recognition company by the name of Katerva is in the final stages of a contest that they have created. The purpose behind the contest is to recognize and promote the most sustainable and revolutionary ideas that have developed within the last two years. These ideas and innovations must be directly related to creating a more sustainable environment and world, and they must be things that can be reproduced and scaled up to fit the needs of our world.
Within this contest there are 10 different categories:
Food Security, Behavioral Change, Economy, Protected Areas, Gender Equality, Materials & Resources, Human Development, Energy & Power, Transportation, and Urban Design.
The Contest is down to its top 5 contenders for each subcategory.
Some finalist include 350.org under the behavioral change category, and Crop Trust for the food security category.
I think this is a great competition because it allows for innovations that can potentially increase our level of sustainability to be targeted and developed. The grand prize winner will be introduced to companies and business leaders who will help develop the grand prize winners concept into a full fledged solution.
Although only one grand prize winner will be named, I think its superb that ideas are being targeted because it allows for constant innovation and refinement on a subject that our world desperately needs.

This contest is a very good idea because of all the innovations the contestants could come up with. Even if an innovation isn't deemed the winning innovation, it could still catch the eye of a company who might want to pursue this innovation. The end result of this competition could be multiple innovations that help our world in areas that need help. After reading this blog post, I am looking forward to hearing what the winning innovation is and seeing just how much it helps the world.
