Eco Prize for creativity 2007 now open for entries
This year's Eco Prize for creativity is now open for entries. The award is open to anyone who lives/works or studies in Scotland and covers any artistic work from any creative industry, including arts, crafts, publishing, music etc. The winner in each category will be someone who has best promoted environmentally friendly living and green practises, and whose work makes a positive statement. Previous winners include the 'Bowmore Chair' by David Trujillo-Farley, which is a chair made from the used barrels of Bowmore Whiskey using minimal amounts of energy, and which is ultimately a bio-degradable piece of furniture. There was also the 'Green Roof' by Beth Hamer, which is an urban organic garden situated on the top of a nightclub in the centre of Glasgow. Entries can be made online here, and the deadline is 31st August 2007.
