The Icarus Interstellar<\/a> organization is offering the\u00a0 Black Sky Thinking Prize<\/a>. It will<\/p>\n

be awarded to an individual who demonstrates originality and ingenuity in their approach to (directly, or indirectly), tackling concepts related to interstellar travel in groundbreaking ways.<\/p>\n

This prize will seek out an individual whose work raises questions and demonstrates new ideas related to the way we may travel to the stars.<\/p>\n

\n

While advances in this realm are usually associated with national institutions that employ highly skilled engineers, the Black Sky Thinker may not be from a traditional \u2018space\u2019 industry background.<\/p>\n

It is a prize that provokes new conversations about the future of humanity and is therefore open to any discipline, ideology, educational, or cultural origin.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The prize will be awarded biennially at the Starship Congress<\/a>, which is organized by Icarus Interstellar.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nThe judges will be “international experts, visionaries and mouldbreakers”.<\/p>\n
