The submission deadline for Phase 1 of the Geothermal Lithium Extraction Prize has been extended to September 2, 2021. 

The new deadline will give you more time to form a team and submit breakthrough technical solutions to improve domestic direct lithium extraction methods.

Additionally, we have expanded the eligibility criteria to include individuals associated with small businesses as well as university incubators that have teamed with partners at a U.S. academic institution.  

All of these changes have been updated in the Official Prize Rules, which are available here and on the American Made Challenges website

In light of these changes, the Geothermal Lithium Extraction Prize administrative team will host a Q&A session on June 28 at 1 p.m. ET. During this session, we will discuss the extended deadline, walk through the modified eligibility criteria, and answer any questions you may have. Please be sure to register for the session here

We look forward to seeing you at the upcoming Q&A session and receiving your Phase 1 submissions by September 2. Good luck!
