Foldable Flight Paper Airplane Designer Contest 2024
What is this contest?
Viewers often send me paper airplanes they have designed and folded. I'm frequently impressed by those creations and wanted to create an official avenue for submissions as well as a reward for the best designs.
​
What do you get for winning?
There will be up to 3 Grand Prize winners for this year’s designer contest. Each Grand Prize winner will receive the following:
The winning submission will be featured in a folding tutorial on the Foldable Flight YouTube channel. I’ll give full credit (a shoutout) to the designer of each winning paper airplane within the folding tutorial itself.
Each Grand Prize winner will receive a customized trophy featuring their name and an illustration of their winning design.
The Grand Prize Winners will also have their winning plane featured as a card in our upcoming board game, Angle of Attack!

​
How will winners be chosen?​
I (Kyle Boyer) will choose my favorite paper airplanes from among the submissions to be the Grand Prize winners. To be clear, this isn't a competition defined by a single flight characteristic as in a distance competition or a time aloft competition. If a plane flies really far or for a long period of time, that's great! But I will also consider the plane's appearance, how unique it is, etc. I like a wide variety of paper airplanes, so send me your favorite original designs, and I'll surely love them too!
How to Submit Your Original Designs:
Submissions should be made by email to FoldableFlightContest@gmail.com and should include all information listed below:
​
1. Name of Plane
2. Name of Designer (that's you) as you would like for it to appear in the videos.
3. A link to a video tutorial for the plane. The video needs to be viewable on the internet. Please DO NOT send videos for me to download — such submissions will be rejected.
