That&#8217;s the scope and the reward of the Picnic Green Challenge, which was just launched by Picnic, the Amsterdam annual conference and week-long idea festival that will take place this year from September 22-29 (full disclosure: I&#8217;m a member of their advisory board). The best ideas will win 500,000 Euros in capital to execute the winning plans, with some extra add-ons such as free coaching and door openers. The prize money is being provided by a sponsor, the Postcode Lottery, the largest Dutch charitable lottery (&#8220;charitable&#8221; meaning that half of the price of the tickets they sell is redistributed to non-profit organizations). There could be a single winner, or a few that will have to share the money, depending on the jury&#8217;s decision about the quality of the submissions.
