Future Vision XPRIZE · Official Selection 2026
The Top 50
Innovation almost always shows up first as a story. Someone writes down the submarine, the moon landing, the video call, and decades later we build it.
So with XPRIZE, Google, and Range, we put $3.5M behind filmmakers who can show a future worth building. More than 2,500 films came in from around the world. The selection team at Range, XPRIZE & Google chose these fifty.
Watch them, vote for the one you believe in, and on September 25 the Top 5 screen live in Los Angeles.
$3.5M in prizes · 2,500+ submissions · 50 official selections · Top 5 live Sept 25
