EVOLUTION 2.0 PRIZE KEY FACTS:
Evolution 2.0 is a $10 million technology prize backed by a private
equity investment group formed to identify a naturally occurring
code.
The Prize came about from the group’s inaugural meeting May 31,
2019, at The Royal Society of Great Britain.

How would you recognize a naturally occurring code? And why isn't
the genetic code an example therof?

The prize isn't for identifying a naturally occurring code. It's for
causing one to spontaneously form.

Bird song is a naturally occuring code, and I could cause it to
spontanously form by removing the elastic band from the bird's beak
which I had previously placed there. I claim my £10,000,000 (or
$10,000.000) prize again.

Please explain exactly where in the wording in the site where the prize depends on spontaneously forming. The genetic code exist, There can be no life and no evolution without genetic information.

If you read proceed a little further into the site, you find that criterion for winning the prize to be
"You must arrange for a digital communication system to emerge or self-evolve without "cheating." The diagram below describes the system. Without explicitly designing the system, your experiment must generate an encoder that sends digital code to a decoder. Your system needs to transmit at least five bits of information. (In other words it has to be able to represent 32 states. The genetic code supports 64.) "

 As everyone knows, the information in the parents genetics is passed from parents to offspring, that expresses for body shape, parts, organs, - that work together in harmony, eye color, hair color etc.etc.etc. This, requires highly complex information. The prize in my opinion (for what it's worth) is in regards the the origin of the DNA-RNA and the source of the information contained. It's a issue I've raised before. "If the present is the key to the past", then at the present time highly complex information comes _only_ from mind. Show that how the DNA/RNA and the complex information contained is derived through and from natural processes.I _personally_believe_ this is the basis for the prize.  The human brain is considered the most complex object on the planet.  This brain should be equipped to resolve this issue and win the prize.
 

A counter-challenge for you. Create a star in a laboratory.
