Design for the smallest parcel of real estate ever!!!

In an effort to redefine the very basic concept of space we’re offering you the chance to take 20 square inches of real estate to let your ideas run wild. Each entry is limited to only 20 square inches of space, but multiple entries are allowed. (1$ per square inch for the total of $20)

Your entries will share prime real estate with individuals (designer + non-designer), companies, advertisers, and people from all walks of life as a part of our “Square Inches of Love” project. We will accept registeration / submission until the assigned deadlines or until we run out of square inches on our 1000 by 1000 square inch grid. (squareinchesoflove.com/competition)
Every single entry will be published on the online grid, on the physical “quilt” along with the “List of Love”.
We’re calling the final public exhibition a “quilt” for now, however, your submissions will inspire the eventual form.

The winning entry will receive additional publication along with other prize values, to be announced.
The jurors for the competition will be announced after October 31.

The evaluation of the proposals will be focused on their innovation + creativity.

Parameters to consider:

SPACE:
The main concept is the out-of-the-box definition / speculation for SPACE.
Think of this as a space for:
-    designing
-    making a statement
-    speculating about the future
-    challenging the issues of boundaries + negotiation
-    public interaction
-    open dialogue
-    advertisement
-    collapsing the virtual + real worlds
-    social movement
-    educating the general public about the power of design
-    making a mark on a monumental object

FLEXIBILITY:
Design for ADAPTABILITY + for the project’s IMPLANTATION in an urban environment.

Really, this is just a way for someone to make an easy million dollars...

Refer to the website and you will see that 50% of the proceeds belong to the St. Jude Children's Research Hospital along with the final custom printed quilt for which the physical realization is OPeX studios' responsibility. The project will turn into a traveling public installation piece in an effort to not only raise awareness for St. Jude, but also to allow designers, as a collective, to put their ideas, and their voices, on the real estate for the public to hear. This is a chance to include designers as well as non-designers in an open dialogue where every participant can step out and communicate their take on what is happening right now or speculate about the future.
Launching + managing a project of this scope is anything but an easy process.
