International Space Settlement Design Competition

Previous Finalist Teams

Despite numerous requests, Competition organizers will not publish names of Finalist Competition winners. The importance of the Finalist Competition is the opportunity to learn from the experience, not the size of the trophy or the words on the certificate. The organizers also recognize that winner selection is not a perfect process: Judges are allowed only three hours to deliberate over products produced by effort equivalent to half a man-year of effort. As in industry, only one contract winner can be selected, even when two proposals are deemed to have equal merit. Differences between winning and other proposals are often insignificant and subjective, and will not be recorded here.
