Designboom, together with partners DA Design Association of Japan and Tobu Department Store, is calling for entries for their international Green Earth graphic design competition. The competition is divided in two themes, and you may enter projects in one or both categories. The first theme is called ‘Green’ and competitors are asked to create a graphic artwork that illustrates environmental protection and how human beings and nature could coexist in a greener world. The second theme ‘Earth’ is based on the idea of giving the gift of a greener world at Christmas. Entries should be a graphic artwork that creates a link between this festive time of year and a call to help our planet’s survival. Use of iconic Christmas motifs such as rein deers and trees are allowed and encouraged.

The designers of the five winning entries will be granted cash prize awards:
- 1st prize: ¥500,000 YEN (approximately $4,600 USD)
- 2nd prize: ¥200,000 YEN (approximately $1,850 USD
– 3 x 3rd prize(s): ¥100,000 YEN ((approximately $925 USD each)

Tobu Department Store (which is affiliated with world heritage Kew Gardens and a supporter of campaigns that help raise awareness and protect the earth) will use a selection of the short listed entries for disposable shopping bags and other promotional material. The eco-bags will be also presented during the Tokyo Designer’s Week 2008. Designers will be fully credited when their work is used and as with all their competitions, Designboom will publish an exhaustive results report.

Participation is open to applicants from every country in the world.
Professionals, students and design-enthusiasts are all invited to participate. Free registration is required. Deadline for applications is August 26th. To find out more and register click here
