As one of the largest cash prize competitions for innovation in Florida, the Cade Prize has drawn hundreds of creative thinkers from Pensacola to Miami, with cutting-edge inventions that have real market potential. In 2020, the Cade Prize will award $50,000 in seed-capital and make several important enhancements:
“We are very pleased to extend the Cade Prize beyond Florida this year to include applicants from Alabama and Georgia. Even more great ideas make us a better Prize competition,” said Richard Miles, Cade Museum Co-Founder and Board Vice President.

Round 1 judging, to determine the 21 Fibonacci Finalists, will be conducted on or about August 11, 2020. On September 30, 2020, final judging and a Cade Prize Awards Ceremony will be held at the Cade Museum for Creativity and Invention. “Receiving the Cade Prize has been a turning point,” said Greg Hudalla, top 2019 Cade Prizewinner. “The award catalyzed the formation of a company, Anchor Biologics, Inc., which is a partnership with business-minded leadership with decades of experience translating biomedical technologies to market,” Hudalla added. “Invention continues to fuel billion dollar economies and many of our Cade Prize winners have played roles in advancing important business sectors,” Miles added.

Fibonacci numbers are strongly related to the golden ratio, a proportion commonly used in classical architecture and in the design of the Cade Museum. ###
