Airbnb is giving out $10 million to create the craziest bookable properties around the world.
Starting Wednesday, "anyone with an out-of-this-world idea" is eligible to submit an application online through Airbnb's OMG! Fund. Each winner will get $100,000 each "to make their creations possible and, ultimately, bookable," Airbnb said.
Applicants only need to write up their idea in 500 words, according to Chesky who said the weirder the submission, the better. An expert panel will access ideas for their originality, feasibility, the experience the space will provide guests as well as sustainability. Airbnb will take submission through July 22 at 11:59 pm ET. The recipients will be selected over the next several months. The goal is to have their newly-constructed spaces complete next year, according to Airbnb.
