“The Cade Prize captures the excitement of new, early-stage ideas that can change the world we live in,” said Richard Miles, Cade Museum co-founder. “We help inventors move beyond invention and take the first step into the marketplace – whether it’s paying for a patent or hiring a researcher – so they can go to the next level and attract significant investors. The funding and recognition from winners’ inventions often takes years to materialize and make a difference.”
Final judging will take place at the Cade Prize Awards Ceremony at the Cade Museum for Creativity & Invention in Gainesville, Florida on September 30. $50,000 in cash prizes will be awarded: $21,000 first prize, $13,000 second prize, $8,000 third prize, $5,000 fourth prize and $3,000 fifth prize.
This is the second year the competition extended beyond Florida to include Georgia and Alabama, with plans to expand across the Southeast.
The Cade Prize is sponsored by Florida Trend, the Gainesville Sun, Modern Luxury, Community Foundation of North Central Florida, and Saliwanchik, Lloyd & Eisenschenk law firm.
