The Earth Awards is a global search for "design innovations that will change the way we live and pave the way to imminent sustainable revolution." They are seeking entries in six broad categories: Built Environment, Fashion, Products, Systems, Future and Social Justice. Entries may be realized or in prototype stage and will be judged on six criteria: "Achievable, Scalable, Measurable, Useful, Original and Ecological." One grand prizewinner will receive $50,000, and each category winner will receive $10,000.
They've rounded up quite a team of judges for this, from curators to designers to scientists. The list includes Paola Antonelli, MoMA; David DeRothschiled, Adventure Ecology; His Holiness Gyalwang Drukpa; Rick Fedrizzi, USGBC; Dr. Jane Goodall, The Jane Goodall Institute; Peter Head, ARUP; Graham Hill, Treehugger; Ira Magaziner, The Clinton Foundation; Phillipe Starck, Designer; and many, many more. See them all here.
Submissions are being accepted now through May 10th, 2010. Check out last year's grand prize winner: FAB.REcology by Neri Oxman, then find all the information you need to enter here.
