X Prize Foundation Launches $1.4 Million Gulf Oil Cleanup Competition
The X Prize Foundation, the California-based non-profit that has held competitions seeking innovative ideas in the areas of private spaceflight and ultra-fuel efficient vehicles, today announced its latest effort -- a $1.4 million competition focused on oil cleanup in the Gulf. The Wendy Schmidt Oil Cleanup X Challenge aims to inspire entrepreneurs, engineers, and scientists to develop groundbreaking new ways to capture crude oil from the ocean surface. Teams will be able to register for the competition through April, with an expert panel of judges evaluating proposals.
