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,
