VOTE on your favorite prize concept! http://xprize.org/visioneering-workshop-2011 More than one billion people in developing countries have inadequate access to water. In the past 10 years, diarrhea related to unsanitary water has killed more children than all the people lost to armed conflict since WWII. At any one time, it is estimated that half the world's hospital beds are occupied with patients suffering from waterborne diseases. The Super Brita X PRIZE will result in the creation of a breakthrough technology and delivery system to provide access to affordable and clean water to households throughout the developing country. --------------------------------------- About the X PRIZE Foundation http://xprize.org The X PRIZE Foundation is an educational (501c3) nonprofit organization whose mission is to bring about radical breakthroughs for the benefit of humanity, thereby inspiring the formation of new industries and the revitalization of markets that are currently stuck due to existing failures or a commonly held belief that a solution is not possible. The foundation addresses the world's Grand Challenges by creating and managing large-scale, high-profile, incentivized prize competitions that stimulate investment in research and development worth far more than the prize itself. It motivates and inspires brilliant innovators from all disciplines to leverage their intellectual and financial capital. ---------------------------------------- VIDEO CREDITS Producer: Larry Herbst - http://EarthLightCommunications.com Cinematographer: Larry Herbst Cinematographer: Blanka Buic Editor: Larry Herbst Social Media Optimization: Damien Somerset - http://DamienSomerset.com
