Link: Greener Gadgets Design Competition.

"Design Brief

"We're inviting designers to explore the concept of "Greener Gadgets." Designs should seek to minimize the environmental impact of consumer electronic devices at any stage in the product lifecycle. Areas of sustainability to consider include:

"1. Energy

"2. Materials / Lifecycle / Recycling

"3. Social & educational development

"Participants are encouraged to consider their designs as part of the entire product ecosystem, and should think as holistically as possible. Designers may choose to focus their entries on a particular area of human enterprise (learning, playing, communicating, etc.), or a particular context (work, home, school, etc.), a particular material, or a specific device. Entries may also seek to create new paradigms for products and services

"Ultimately, we are looking for "great gadgets" of the greener kind.

"Judging

"Entries will be pre-judged by representatives from Core77 and Greener Gadgets. A set of finalists will be selected for final judging LIVE on stage at the Greener Gadgets Conference on February 1st, 2008 in New York City...."
