After their pitches to the judges, deliberation for the winner of Social Innovation Camp is fairly short.
In second place is RateMyPrison (see here and here) who scoop £1,000 and are applauded for building something simple with obvious value.
First prize, however, goes to Enabled By Design, which I'm told was the clear winner among the judges (see here and here for more). The social mission and emphasis on improving people's lives simply and easily was clearly valued by the panel. Plus £2,000 could probably go a long way to making this a real resource. Congratulations! Team leader Denise is lost for words, and the are beaming. Not bad for a weekend's work, eh?
Two days, seven projects and a lot of work have paid off: pretty much every one of these ideas is now in the position where it could be further developed into a full product. One of the organisers, Paul Miller, takes the trouble to congratulate everyone - as well they deserve - and then it's off for drinks, food or (perhaps more importantly) some sleep. I'm going to see if it's still blizzard conditions back in the shire...
