The Earth Awards is seeking submissions worldwide for sustainable design innovations in six categories: Built Environment, Fashion, Products, Systems, Future, and Social Justice. Ideas realized or prototypes will be considered but must distinguish themselves in six criteria: Achievable, Scalable, Measurable, Useful, Original, and Ecological. The grand prize winner will receive $50,000, while category winners receive $10,000 each.
This year, the Earth Awards’ Ceremony moves from New York City to London, where the selection committee will judge a list of six finalists culminating with an exhibition in sustainable design, showcasing the 2010 winning submissions, as well as past years’ winners. Along with the exhibition, the Financial Times will hold a Sustainable Business Conference and gala dinner inviting CEOs, entrepreneurs, and venture capitalists to match innovation with investment.
Submissions deadline is May 10th. Visit www.theearthawards.com for more information.
