Trash to Treasure- Humanitarian Design

“Rubbish may be universal, but it is little studied and poorly understood. Nobody knows how much of it the world generates or what it does with it.” - The Economist magazine, Talking Rubbish, June 7th 2007

THE CHALLENGE
We are asking you to design something beautiful and useful that uses material that are otherwise thrown away. How can your design change people’s attitude towards what is rubbish, and what we waste? We are looking for a creative and imaginative response, where new and innovative uses are found for items which are considered worthless. Being able to design using wasted materials can transform communities who have barely anything, so we would love to see your ideas, however crazy they might be.

The deadline for entries is midnight on Sunday 1st May, and the winner will be announced in the following week.

ENTRY FORMAT
This is a concept competition- we are asking for just ONE image (ideally A3 sized) which explains your idea, with minimal written explanation.

ENTRY FEE & PRIZE
The entry fee is £3, and the prize is half of all the entry money. The other half goes straight to a humanitarian building project in Delhi, India.
