According to Dvice:
10 teams are fully registered to send their robotic space ships to the moon.
As you have read earlier, Google is sponsoring an X-Prize type of competition that will award the first team to land, remotely control and complete a series of specific activities, a rover type device on the Moon. The first team to do so will take home the lion share of 20 million dollars.
The Dvice article goes on to say:
