Rolex Awards for Enterprise - Deadline May 31st

The Rolex Awards support pioneering work in five areas: applied technology, cultural heritage, environment, exploration and discovery, and science and health. However, projects may be submitted in almost any area of activity, provided they have the potential to bring benefits for mankind. Projects are assessed based on the feasibility, originality, potential for sustained impact, and, above all, on the candidate’s own spirit of enterprise.

Past awards have included novel use of mobile technology for marine conservation research, research on post-harvest technology for small-holder farmers, etc

Note that these awards are given every two years, and they are devoted exclusively to young professionals (i.e. ages 18-30 years)
