The Opportunity Project Prize Challenge is LIVE!

For the past four years, the Census Bureau has been working with some of the best tech talent in the U.S. to solve America’s biggest problems with the support of census data. By the end of 2019, over 100 products will have been created.

Now, to help advance and grow the most promising products built through The Opportunity Project, the Census Bureau will award a total of $100,000 across five categories through The Opportunity Project Prize Challenge. The challenge will help get products that deliver impact into the hands of families, businesses, and communities nationwide.
