The Nine Dots Prize is a new prize for creative thinking that tackles contemporary societal issues and welcomes entrants from all disciplines and cross-discipline thinking. Entrants are challenged to submit 3,000 word responses to a question set by the 12-strong board.

The inaugural question is ‘Are digital technologies making politics impossible’?

The Prize is $100,000 (US) which will support the winner to write a short book expanding on their ideas to be published by Cambridge University Press in a variety of formats, including open access. It will be judged anonymously. Further information can be found on the prize website.
