Space Elevator Games
The 2007 Space Elevator Games will be held in Salt Lake City this year. The qualifying rounds will start on October 15, and the event will be open to the public between October 19 and October 21.

Hosted by the SpaceWard Foundation the games feature over 20 teams competing $1,000,000 in cash prizes provided by NASA’s Centennial Challenges program.

New this year is the "Light Racers" -- that allows kids and young adults to take part in a realistic lunar exploration scenario and win cash prizes for their performance.
