Lindbergh Prize Website Unveiled

Charles Lindbergh’s grandson Erik has launched a website for the Lindbergh Prize, which will be unveiled in March during an event on the U.S. West Coast. There are not a lot of specifics available, except that the prize “will provide a tremendous stimulus to leverage creative solutions for a resilient future.”

According to the website, the prize will:

• Be an accomplishment recognition prize.
• Include both cash and non-cash awards.
• Incorporate a high level of media coverage both during the “competition” year and at the annual awards ceremony.
• Award several pre-determined categories of technology.
• Include various methods of judging, using experts, peers, and public voting.
• Leverage an innovative project-based education program.

The prize is being run by the Creative Solutions Alliance, a non-profit that Erik Lindbergh founded. X Prize Founder Peter Diamandis is on the Board of Advisors. The effort has one partner, Aviation High School of Seattle, and is looking for additional partners, sponsors and donors.

In addition to the website, you can become a fan on Facebook (Lindbergh Prize).
