Metropolis Magazine has announced a call for entries for their Next Generation design competition, titled "One Design Fix for the Future":

Good design determines how well products, spaces, and systems work from the beginning. We think that great design ideas can make things work even better. One Design Fix for the Future challenges you to prove us right--whether you are an architect, interior designer, product designer, landscape designer, graphic designer, communication designer. We're looking for ONE design fix you can make now in your designed environment--the products you use, your home, your workplace, your city, or any commercial application--that, in scale or as inspiration, can improve our future.

To enter, provide one small (but brilliant and elegant) fix--leading to an incremental (or dramatic) change in sustainability. Your fix needn't have anything to do with "environmentalist engineering" to make a difference. Concentrate on what you know best, are aching to improve in a way that deploys your training and imagination.

Grand prize is ten large, and the deadline's not 'til late January 2010 so you've got a little time for this one. But hurry up--those holidays will be here before you know it. Click here to learn more.
