to make a difference for a healthier planet, and let your creativity lead you
to a world of fantasy and invention. Invent your own original and
environmentally sustainable design for architecture or home interiors,
transportation, or any product that encourages the use of other environmentally
sustainable products. If you win, a well-known designer from another part of
the globe will create a new design based on your specifications, but
interpreted and perhaps re-elaborated according to his or her own cultural
experiences from another part of the planet. Your winning project with
the professional designer's interpretation will be the showcase attraction for
a major event week celebration in 2011. You will also win scholarship money for
yourself, cash awards to help your school AND your project will be seen around
the world. It might even be published in some really cool magazines. If the
organizers decide to commercialize your project, you will be paid royalties!
Project submission deadline is 12pm on March 4, 2011. For more information go
