The Greener Gadgets Design Competition deadline is fast approaching (more on that in a second), and the conference itself is right around the corner on February 1st in NYC. If you are interested in environmental issues within consumer electronic product design, don't miss your chance to attend the event. And the sweeten the deal? Greener Gadgets is offering Core77 readers a sugary $77 discount on the ticket price. Here's the pitch:
The first-of-its kind Greener Gadgets Conference will feature groundbreaking presentations from Natalie Jeremijenko, Mary Lou Jepsen of One Laptop Per Child, environmental artist Chris Jordan, as well as panel discussions on electronics recycling programs and emerging renewable energy sources for cell phones and laptops (such as kinetic energy), finishing up with a live, on-stage presentation and audience judging of the Greener Gadgets Design Competition with Core77's Allan Chochinov, a panel of critics, and a clap-o-meter. The event is less than two weeks away and tickets are selling quickly, so we encourage you to purchase tickets sooner rather than later if you want to attend. Here's the good part:
To encourage early registration, we want to offer a special discount for Core77 readers for the next seven days: simply type 'Core77' into the coupon field and you will get $77 off your ticket (this discount does not apply to the already low-priced student tickets).

And now for the competitor in you: There's still a 10 days left to register and enter the Greener Gadgets Design Competition (and we know that designers wait 'til the last minute anyway!), so fire up those rendering programs and get to it. (The deadline is midnight, January 27th.) The competition will be giving away $4500 in cash prizes to the smartest greener gadgets designs, and your work will be displayed at the conference in front of hundreds of journalists from publications ranging from BusinessWeek to CNET to Wired, as well as reps from companies like Philips, Sony, HP & Nokia. Plus, you could win some cold hard cash.
