SPECIAL AWARDS
TM
DaVinci
Award
For Outstanding Creativity
The paths we follow on our journeys were once uncharted and
unknown – until someone took a bold step in a new direction and paved a way for
us to follow. To solve our Challenges, imagination, creativity, originality,
and courage are req uired. We honor those individuals and teams who most
clearly demonstrate that spirit of adventurous risk in their solutions - those
who most creatively traveled to reach truly new and unique destinations. The
DaVinci Award is named to honor one of humanit y's greatest creative thinkers,
Leonardo Da Vinci. Awards will include an inscription of Leonardo's personal
motto "Sapere Vedere" (To Know How to See ) - fusing classical
thought and philosophy with art and science to propose new and creative outl
ooks of the world. *Please note: solutions need not be successful to
demonstrate the attributes of creativity and risk taking.
