Greener Gadgets, a conference on the topic of greening consumer electronics, partnered up with our amigos at Core 77 in hopes of seeking out design innovations for more eco-friendly electronics. The design competition will engage established design firms and students alike to come up with new solutions for consumer electronics addressing energy issues, health and toxicity, new materials, product lifecycle and social development. The best will be showcased at the Greener Gadget Conference on 1 February 2008 in New York City, where they will be judged by an esteemed panel and the audience.
Awards will be handed out at the end of the night and be showcased on GreenerGadget, Core77 and Inhabitat. The grand prize winner will receive $2,500 while two runners up will each get $1,000.
Entry deadline is 27 January 2008, so it's time to get those gears turning. For more information on the competition and conference visit Core 77 and Greener Gadgets.
