The Cade Prize rewards inventors and entrepreneurs who demonstrate a creative approach to addressing problems in their field of expertise resulting in an innovative, not iterative, invention.
Applications for the 2019 Cade Prize Competition are being accepted from February 10, 2019 - March 10, 2019.
The Cade Prize, established in 2010, rewards individuals and companies with an original idea that has market potential. 2019 Cade Prize cash awards will total $50,000, with a $25,000 First Place award, $15,000 Second Place award, and $10,000 Third Place award. The Fourth Place award provides in-kind services to support acceleration. Funding for the Cade Prize competition is generously provided by the Community Foundation of North Central Florida.
The Sweet 16 finalists will be announced on March 15, 2019, and the Final Four will be announced on April 15, 2019. The prizes won by the Final Four will be announced at the Cade Museum’s 2019 Inventivity Bash on May 18, 2019.

Cultivating and Celebrating Invention & Innovation in Florida
The state of Florida is recognized as a leader in innovation and invention, and in 2017, the top two patent-producing Florida universities (USF & UF) produced 227 patents (more patents than the three NC Research Triangle universities, UNC, Duke, & NC State, with 189 patents combined.) From 2010 to 2015, three Florida institutions, the University of Florida, University of South Florida, and University of Central Florida, garnered 1,111 patents (each being in the top 20 U.S. schools.)
