Nestlé will award the prize every two years. Nestlé believes that developing countries face under-investment in key social sectors, and that rewarding truly significant and innovative efforts to meet the global challenges of access to clean water, advancement in rural development, and improvements in nutrition can create shared value for us all. To effectively incentivise such innovation, an award should target projects and programs that have proved their worth on a pilot or small-scale basis, are feasible on a broad scale basis, built on a sound business model, and offer high promise of improving nutrition, advancing rural development, or having significant impact on water management or access to clean water. The Nestlé Prize in Creating Shared Value will recognise local efforts to practice the Creating Shared Value principle and will be awarded to an individual, NGO, or small enterprise which has demonstrated innovative techniques for improving access to and management of water, improving the lives of farmers and rural communities, or delivers high nutritional value to populations suffering from nutritional deficits. Entrants in the Nestlé Prize in Creating Shared Value competition, which will be organised every other year, are encouraged and welcomed from wide and varied backgrounds from around the world. Nestlé will commit to the prize-winner an investment of up to CHF 500,000 (461,000 USD) for a specified period of time, to assist in the development and scale-up of the innovation. The value of the prize purse may vary depending on market, market conditions, and the scale and scope of the winning entry. The value and terms of the Award will be at the discretion of the Nestlé Chairman and CEO upon the recommendation of the Creating Shared Value Advisory Board. The Nestlé Creating Shared Value Advisory Board will select the prize-winner from a worldwide pool of nominations starting in April 2010.
