On November 1st, 2024, Project Hyperion - an international,
interdisciplinary team of architects, engineers, anthropologists, and
urban planners - launched a design competition for crewed interstellar
travel. The event was hosted by the Initiative for Interstellar
Studies (i4is), a UK-based non-profit organization dedicated to the
robotic and human exploration of exoplanets around nearby stars, and
eventually settlement. With a prize purse of $10,000, competitors were
tasked with producing concepts for a Generation Ship (aka. Worldships)
using current technologies and those that could be realized in the
near future.
On July 23rd, 2025, the organization announced the top three
competition winners, which were selected from hundreds of ideas
submitted by teams worldwide.

Interesting article about the generation ships which will take about
400 years to reach Proxima Centauri.
