4.4.2: Prizes and Challenges
Explore how the use of prizes, challenges, and other programs can provide creativity and innovation to DOI’s mission areas Other Information:
DOI recognizes that by making more information available to DOI employees and the general public, the Department can leverage
a vast array of expertise and identify pockets of brilliance. Based on OMB’s guidance on prizes and challenges, DOI plans
to explore how the use of prizes, challenges, and other programs can provide creativity and innovation to DOI’s mission areas.
DOI’s process for developing prizes and challenges is depicted below in Figure 20. Some of the key design considerations include:
determining the participant pool, participants rights, rules, and award structure. Aside from fostering the public’s use of
information made available, DOI recognizes that prizes and challenges present an opportunity to engage citizens and encourage
more involvement in the stewardship of their national lands. As described in section 5.7, DOI’s Flagship Initiative is one
example of this.
