Part design competition, part global learning lab—Wege Prize challenges transdisciplinary teams of university students to develop real-world solutions to complex, “wicked” problems through the framework of the circular economy. 

Participants contend for $65,000 (USD) in total cash prizes as they evolve their ideas with input from judges who coach—not just score—providing in-depth feedback at each phase of the competition’s iterative design process.
