At Right: Dymaxion Bathroom (1940) by Buckminster Fuller.

Each year a distinguished jury will award a single $100,000 prize to support the development and implementation of a solution that has significant potential to solve humanity’s most pressing problems in the shortest possible time while enhancing the Earth’s ecological integrity.

The Buckminster Fuller Challenge seeks submissions of design science solutions within a broad range of human endeavor that exemplify the trimtab principle. Trimtabs demonstrate how small amounts of energy and resources precisely applied at the right time and place can produce maximum advantageous change.

Entries for The Buckminster Fuller Challenge will be accepted via the Web-based platform or by post beginning 4 September and ending 30 October 2007. To receive an entry form announcement and to learn more about this competition, go to the site and sign up on the mailing list. This is an international contest for individuals or teams comprised of individuals who are over age 18.
