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 to: <a
