For all ages
Hatch a plan to build the best vessel.
Keep the egg off your face—and off the concrete—with a protective vessel of your own design able to withstand a 15-foot drop. Take chances, get creative and don’t worry about breaking a few eggs along the way.

How do you like your eggs?
Keep in mind while you build:
- All vessels will be weighed prior to their drop. Keep it feather-light! In the event of a tie, the vessel that weighs the least (prior to the addition of the egg) will win.
- Participants and judges must be able to easily insert and remove the provided egg from the vessel.
- Your vessel must be in free fall during the drop. Avoid using motorized parts, tethers, bungees, parachutes, etc.
- Secure your egg any way you like, but leave professional packing materials (packing peanuts, bubble wrap or any synthetic shock-absorbing materials) at home.
- Vessels cannot contain any hazardous material, such as glass, that could cause harm to the audience or judges.
- Each vessel must have a well-anchored loop on the top so it can be suspended and dropped.
Surviving the fall is just the beginning.
The most egg-straordinary entries from each category will win a trophy and a $50 Amazon gift card.
