Your real odds
Three prizes of $20,000 are awarded each year, one per discipline, so you are competing for a single winner slot in your category.
The foundation selects innovators who have not yet broken through to mainstream recognition, and the single-winner-per-category structure keeps odds low by design.

Worth knowing
The prize is meant to fund a second or next project that is already substantially underway, so if you cannot point to defined work in progress, you are unlikely to be competitive.
