“The World in 2050” was a global futurist writing contest co-sponsored by The Economist magazine and Royal Dutch Shell. It carried a first prize of $20,000, which included publication of the winning piece in The Economist’s annual flagship publication, “The World In”.[1]

Entries were accepted from around the world via a website set up for the purpose, worldin2050.com, and at various Royal Dutch Shell offices worldwide.[1]

The judging panel was chaired by Richard O’Brien, co-founder of Outsights, a scenario planning consultancy,[1] and included:

  • Bill Emmott, author and then-editor of The Economist[1]
  • Esther Dyson, an angel investor and philanthropist[2]
  • Sir Mark Moody-Stuart, then-chairman of Royal Dutch Shell[1]
  • Matt Ridley, a British scientist and member of the House of Lords[3]
  • Peter Warshall, an ecologist, activist and former editor of the Whole Earth Catalog and Whole Earth magazine[4]

Over 3,000 entries were submitted from 75 countries, and the $20,000 first prize was awarded to Bill Douglass, an American communications consultant.[5] Two second prizes of $10,000 each and five $5,000 third prizes were also awarded.[6]
