About us
Do YOU have an innovative idea? At Challenge.Gov, federal agencies “challenge” members of the public to solve important problems. From improving transportation for people with disabilities, to reducing suicides among veterans, Challenge.Gov opens up problem-solving to the world, and you could win cash prizes for the best idea. Maybe you can help protect endangered species, or you have a new idea for how to generate power on the moon, or maybe your love for sewing could win you MILLIONS in prizes for creating a new mask design. Visit Challenge.Gov to see how you can participate. Each tile represents a different challenge and each has its own rules for participating. You can work the problem on your own, or with a team to share your solution. All you need to get started is an email address. Join us at Challenge.Gov and start innovating today! Challenge.Gov is a program in the General Service Administration’s (GSA) Technology Transformation Services Division. Challenge.Gov is unique in its ability to facilitate engagement between federal agencies and the public to create transparency and equity in solving problems and innovation. Challenge.Gov supports federal agencies to mature and scale the use of prize competitions and crowdsourcing campaigns to advance their missions. Ultimately, Challenge.Gov helps federal agencies connect directly with the American public to solve problems and share ideas. The Challenge.Gov team delivers this support by offering advanced infrastructure, empowering and connecting members of the Challenge and Prize Community of Practice, hosting interactive learning experiences, and developing resources. Our team is available to consult with federal open innovation practitioners about any aspect of prize competitions or crowdsourcing campaigns, including posting on the Challenge.Gov platform.
