NEW YORK, Sept. 23, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Prince Albert II, His Serene Highness of Monaco, will announce Friday at New York's Explorers Club first details of the World Sky Race—a race around the world by airships (blimps, dirigibles, and zeppelins). Winner's prize: $5 million.

Key Points:

They need far less fuel to fly than comparable aircraft, and they leave only a tiny carbon footprint.
Prince Albert calls the World Sky Race, "an event that I warmly welcome and encourage," since it will draw attention to airships' potential to reduce carbon emissions around the world.
Airship Teams, each representing a different nation, will then race to circle the earth, with the finish line being Paris.
This Race will provide a shared educational bond for the next generation, as they prepare for their missions in life.
