We salute these visionary teams for being the first potential competitors who raised their hands with the intent of competing in the Progressive Automotive X PRIZE. These Contenders joined the Progressive Automotive X PRIZE Letter of Intent Program. We encourage them all to register for the competition now that the formal registration period is open.

The Letter of Intent Program was open from April 4, 2007 - August 15, 2008. Acceptance into the Letter of Intent Program does not imply that the Contender's vehicle design has been judged to meet the competition's entrance criteria, or that a subsequent formal application will be accepted. All LOI Contenders who have signed a Letter of Intent are required to fill out a Registration Application if they intend to become an official team in the Progressive Automotive X PRIZE.

Why compete in the Progressive Automotive X PRIZE?

These former Letter of Intent Contenders have now been accepted as Registered Teams in the
Progressive Automotive X PRIZE. Please visit the Registered Teams page to learn more about these pioneering teams..
