The prize for innovations created through the power of the crowd was awarded in three categories: Open.Innovation, Innovation.Funding and Corporate.Innovation. Numerous projects from Germany, Austria and Switzerland applied for the coveted trophies. Three per category were awarded prizes.
In an open innovation project, the Ă–sterreichische Post asked the crowd for ideas and suggestions for solutions to develop more sustainable shipping packaging for e-commerce.

The initiative "Green Ideas für wiederverwendbare Verpackungen“ has made an impressive achievement by involving the crowd and focusing on environmental sustainability and societal benefits. Overall, it is a promising crowdsourcing initiative that contributes to solving the problem of packaging waste.
The crowd powered innovation award is an initiative of the European Digital Innovation Hub (EDIH) Crowd in Motion and the Fraunhofer-Zentrum für Internationales Management und Wissensökonomie (IMW) in Leipzig, Germany.
