Keeseh Studio invites students and design enthusiasts to celebrate the pursuit of ecodesign through an international competition to utilize waste material.

A given manufacturing facility creates many copies of a product; therefore they create many copies of their waste material as well. Waste material can be used as raw material for other products or processes; this concept is known as upcycling.

The goal of the competition is to promote upcycling by encouraging the use of wasted materials to generate innovative designs and redefine the standards of environmental sustainability by fostering balance between conservation and development. This competition will provide a stepping stone to help educate viewers of the vast opportunities and future development of environmentally friendly processes, materials, and products.

Famed panel of judges:

• Jaime Salm – Creative Director of MIO Culture
• Kristi Cameron – Senior Editor at Metropolis Magazine
• Allan Chochinov – Designer, Educator, and Partner of Core77
• Graham Hill – Founder of TreeHugger

3 entries will win media coverage and recognition of their product or process and one will win a cash prize of $1000.

All entries must be received digitally or by mail no later than October 1st. Visit Make Some Green for details.
