We’ll start with a caveat.

We know there are more prestigious prizes – like the Nobel Prize. And we know there are prizes with more extraordinary financial rewards – like the XPRIZE.

But the reality is these are out of reach for almost everyone.

And we think Earth needs more engineers. Not less.

So entry into our inaugural V Prize is a little more straightforward.

We’re giving you 6 months to turn our Vollebak logo into a flying machine. And fly it somewhere cool. 

If you know people at Google X, MIT, Caltech, Skunk Works, SpaceX, Blue Origin, or JPL who are twiddling their thumbs, now would be a good time to send this their way, or make them your team mate.

We know our logo has decent flight potential as it took 50% of its design inspiration from Northrop Grumman’s B-2 Spirit – aka the Stealth Bomber.

…Plus we’ve already tested it ourselves.

Our flying logo was about 5ft long, 50cm high and 4.5ft wide. And we flew it over a farmer’s field in England.

The test included one loop the loop, some interested flies, and a bumpy landing.

Prizes will be awarded for engineering brilliance, and most spectacular flights.

And they include: $20,000 of Vollebak gear, personal glory, Vollebak shares, and a nicely framed certificate.

No AI please. Earth needs actual engineers.

And in case you’re wondering, the V Prize will of course fund far more noble initiatives eventually.

Our plan in order is:

1) Make our logo fly.

2) Launch prizes for genuinely important things.

3) Save Earth.
