We invite you (together with as large a group as you can muster) to throw paper planes at the 34th First Annual Ig Nobel Prize ceremony, to honor the new Ig Nobel Prize winners.
This year we will be blending our two paper-airplane-throwing traditions:
- If you are coming to the 2024 Ig Nobel Prize ceremony at MIT (in Cambridge, Massachusetts) on Thursday evening, September 12, bring a stack of paper with you.
- If, instead, you will be watching the webcast, make a short video of you (and friends//family/colleagues) throwing paper planes at the camera. Then send it to us. Accepted videos (we hope to accept most of them!) will be part of the ceremony and the webcast. Deadline for submitting a paper-plane-throwing video is August 28, 2024.
Details are described in this short video:
