One of the takeaways from the GeoDesign Summit is the idea of a GeoDesign Challenge to encourage the adoption of geodesign principles, and to spur showcase projects that address issues of global change for the stewardship of the planet. The idea is a significant award ($50,000) that goes to the best application of the concept of GeoDesign to leverage the idea on real landscapes or the development of research projects that have impact on advancing the idea of GeoDesign.
The push is for real involvement with government, NGOs and the private sector to do geodesign, regardless of technology that is applied. The suggestion was also made that the judges should not be gray hairs, that the message would be wrong if that were the case.
To move this forward, a committee to design the challenge and the terms of reference was created.
