There is one international award for each of the 15 Global Challenges, for the essay that received the highest score and minimum of 75%. First place winners for each of the 15 challenges receive an International Certificate of Recognition, a trophy, and a laptop computer.
The main organizer of the Global Millennium Prize and the Awards Ceremony is Conception Olavarietta, Chair of the Millennium Project Mexican Node.
