In Vitro Meat Production-Contest Rules
Summary
People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) aims with this contest to 
encourage
the development and offering for sale of in vitro chicken meat in 
commercially
significant quantities. A prize of $1,000,000 is offered to the first 
successful individual,
group, or company to do so.
To receive the $1 million prize, the successful candidate must be the first

indistinguishable from real chicken flesh to non-meat-eaters and meat-eaters 
alike

commercially, and successfully sell it at a competitive price in at least 10 
U.S.
states
