Launch of Buckminster Fuller Institute award for "Design Revolution"

On the occasion of the 112th birthday of one of the 20th century's most prescient futurists and global thinkers, The Buckminster Fuller Institute (BFI) announces the launch of the first annual Buckminster Fuller Challenge.

Established to catalyze the vanguard of a global design revolution, the Challenge will award a single $100,000 prize annually to support the development and implementation of a solution with significant potential to solve the world's most pressing problems in the shortest possible time while enhancing the earth's ecological integrity.

The first prize will be conferred in June of 2008, timed to coincide with the opening of the first major retrospective exhibition of Buckminster Fuller's work in the US at the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York City.

Entries accepted September 4th - October 30th, 2007. This is a program of The Buckminster Fuller Institute. Contact us at: <mailto:challenge@bfi.org>challenge@bfi.org or visit <http://challenge.bfi.org/>http://challenge.bfi.org
