DESIGN COMPETITION
International Design Awards
Los Angeles, USA

IDA LAND & SEA COMPETITION LAUNCHES!
Deadline for entry: February 29, 2008

Designs that Decrease Man's Carbon Footprint
While science is sending its best to the arctic poles to diagnose global warming, the Los Angeles-based
International Design Awards is taking the conundrum elsewhere: to those who design the manmade world.
IDA is sponsoring the Land & Sea competition to address the pesky carbon footprint, inviting architects and
designers of interiors, products, graphics and fashion internationally -- both professionals and students --
to submit realized, in-progress and conceptual work that, in some way, promises a greater relationship
between man and the world around us.

Work is being accepted in two categories:
> The land
For example, an alternative-fuel car, an organic fertilizer, a LEED-certified home, a recyclable wallpaper,
a dress using non-petroleum polyester.
>The sea
For example, a sailboat, beachwear made from organic fibers, a waterfront park, an alternative fuel jetski.

Rewards include:
> An international press campaign celebrating the designers' work, sent to 100,000 peers and editors
internationally
> Designers' work included in the IDA online gallery, with links to their website for access by journalists,
distributors and buyers
> Review of their work by the top design editors internationally: including Judges: Michael Cannell, Editorial
Director, Dwell.com; Josh Rubin, Editor in Chief, coolhunting.com; Newell Turner, Style Director,
House Beautiful; Laurence Ng, Publisher, idN News; David Hertz, AIA; Gwynne Pugh, AIA;
Maxwell Gillingham-Ryan, apartment therapy.

Celebration of their work at the IDA Land & Sea reception at the International Contemporary Furniture
Fair in May.
