Welcome!

Welcome to the Wendy Schmidt Oil Cleanup X CHALLENGE official blog! Here you will find the latest and most interesting news surrounding our search for the team who will find an innovative solution to speed the pace of cleaning up seawater surface oil resulting from spillage.  This competition will be competitive, crazy at times, and probably bring you to tears. But, what X PRIZE competition doesn't? The winner will receive $1 Million. That's huge! Watch below, a short clip of Wendy Schmidt herself, president of the Schmidt Family Foundation and co-founder of the Schmidt Marine Science Research Institute, who has graciously donated her own money for this competition.
