Responding to a global call for applications, more than 3,000 teams from around the world entered the competition in 2021. Twenty-five finalists, representing 17 countries from around the world had one year to demonstrate the effectiveness of their ideas in field tests on small and medium-sized farms in Africa. In addition to receiving $10,000 and a variety of special benefits, finalists competed for the $1 million Grand Prize, which was announced at the Milken Institute Global Conference in May 2023.
