Monetary Prize Determination

The page on Prizes states that the "VA will award monetary prizes of as much as $3 Million to as many as three entrants" and that "judges will determine the number and amount of monetary prizes" and they may "determine that no prize will be awarded."

- What determines the monetary value of the prizes for entrants that meet the needs of the challenge?

- Will the monetary value be determined subjectively or will it be based on how many requirements the entrant's solution meets?

We look forward to your response. Thank you!
