In brief: They search for the best design for an open-source nanosat rocket engine, that can be printed by Shapeways or anybody else with a suitable 3D printer capable of printing stainless steel.

The price is awarded with $5000...not that big, but enough for the task. also there are two bonus prices for student designs and collaborative designs. The rules exclude non-US designers it seems.
The rules are also a bit strange, since they speak of carrying a nanosat of a set mass (0.5 - 10 kg) into space. I would say they mean the rocket engine should reach a comparable thrust.
