The SPLASH Contest is not yet open, but we are currently accepting applications for the DESIGN Contest through February 16, 2021.
Successful teams emerging from the BUILD Contest will be eligible to enter the SPLASH Contest, wherein they will refine their designs over a 3- to 6-month period and then test the system at-sea for approximately 1 week. The SPLASH Contest is meant to assess endurance and performance of the system in real-world conditions.
During the week-long test, contestant teams will demonstrate all functional aspects of their prototypes systems in an integrated way, to include maneuverability, self-charging, data collection, and wireless communication, as represented in the DESIGN Contest scoring statements. The location of the test site will be announced at a later date.
