Help decide on winning design for Greensburg Eco-Home Competition
The Eco-Homes Competition for rebuilding Greensburg,Kansas design enties are in and awaiting your input. There are hundreds of designs, and some pretty interesting ones. You can check them out and vote by clicking here
.
All votes will be tallied and the top ones will be a part of the final judging (I am a part of the jury with friends and colleagues such as Allison Arieff, Lloyd Alter and Steve Thomas to name a few). The winner of the contest will receive a $10,000 first prize, the two runners up each receive $1000, and the top winning designs will be housed on FreeGreen.com and available for free to the public and will be built in Greensburg, Kansas as a part of the Chain of Eco-Homes Project.
About the Chain of Eco-Homes:
The Chain of Eco-Homes is a 12-home project located in Greensburg, Kansas. The purpose of this residential development is to create “Living Laboratories” featuring a variety of building techniques, sizes, prices, energy efficiency features, and green living products and services. Each home will be unique, and each will be available both as an informational center and as eco-lodging where people can experience green living first hand. This will be the first such project in the nation, and will be key to developing eco-tourism in Greensburg, Kansas.
I am off to dig through the website and entries - which is always fun.
