NEXT-GEN MASK CHALLENGE<\/span><\/p>\n

$1 MILLION<\/p>\n

Prize Purse<\/p>\n

The $1M Next-Gen Mask Challenge aims to reimagine protective face masks used to prevent the spread of COVID-19 by making them more comfortable, functional, accessible, and even stylish. <\/p>\n

UNDERSTANDING THE IMPACT OF MASKS<\/p>\n

The XPRIZE<\/p>\n

Next-Gen Mask Challenge will aid in the fight against COVID-19 by enhancing an effective solution: face masks. The next generation of masks will redefine the norm of mask-wearing behavior and help sustain crucial preventive health measures.<\/p>\n

\n

THIS GENERATION IS PASSIONATE, CREATIVE, AND DEEPLY ENGAGED. WE DON\u2019T BELIEVE YOU NEED TO WAIT OR GET A PARTICULAR DEGREE TO HAVE AN IDEA THAT CAN DRAMATICALLY CHANGE THE WORLD.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

DR. EMILY MUSIL CHURCH<\/p>\n

Executive Director, XPRIZE Equity & Education<\/p>\n

\n

THE CHALLENGE<\/p>\n

Masks are effective in slowing and preventing the spread of COVID-19, but not all of us have adopted this preventive measure. Some masks are ill-fitting, uncomfortable, not breathable, and the most effective masks are often unavailable or expensive.<\/p>\n

We need an alternative\u2014face masks that are readily accessible and affordable, functional for our everyday lives, fit a wide variety of wearers, and are effective in protecting the wearer and the community.<\/p>\n

HOW TO WIN<\/p>\n

The winning team will design a face mask that achieves the filtration efficacy on par with a surgical mask and overcomes the top five barriers to mask-wearing as defined by an XPRIZE-conducted survey.<\/p>\n

HOW TO REGISTER<\/p>\n

The Next-Gen Mask Challenge teams will be composed of the next generation of innovators ages 15-24 from all around the world. Registering to create or join a team is one of the first steps you can take to help create a better future for all.<\/p>\n
