Post Comments
We’re asking everyone and anyone who cares about the abolition of the death penalty to create a poster around that theme. We’ll announce more details about the competition on February 24th. The call for Entries will open on April 10th and you’ll have until June to upload your posters on this website.
Looking to inspire new choices through positive, design-centered thinking, IDEO launched the Living Climate Change initiative last fall.
Its goal is to extend the dialogue beyond policy and politics and toward inspiring, human-centered scenarios that create new possibilities for business and society.
Now IDEO is partnering with DESIGN 21 to create the Living Climate Change Video Challenge.
People of all ages are asked to craft videos that envision a sustainable future as society moves along the path toward reduced carbon emissions.
“Living Climate Change is an open invitation to designers and non-designers alike to think creatively about an issue that impacts us all,” said Jennifer Leonard, IDEO designer and co-editor of Livingclimatechange.
“Our hope is that it will stimulate the kind of dialogue that creates community, supports optimism and inspires new choices.”
The Living Climate Change Video Challenge calls for an original video that envisions how climate change will impact life on Earth over the next 20 to 30 years.
Deadline for entries is May 25, 2010.
Submissions are now open for FIGMENT 2010 events in NYC (June 11-13) and Boston (June 5)! Project submissions are welcome in every medium imaginable–from sculpture and installations to performance, workshops, games, electronic art, music, dance, etc. To submit, go to figmentproject.org. FIGMENT event submissions close on May 1. What are you bringing?
