Buckminster Fuller Challenge

Only 30 days left to prepare and submit applications for the Buckminster Fuller Challenge.

This distinguished international prize program awards $100,000 to support the development and implementation of a solution that has significant potential to solve humanity's most pressing problems.

Past entries include bold, visionary strategies across the spectrum of human endeavor, from a radical solution to human transportation in the world's largest cities to a strategy to dramatically increase crop yields and economic development in remote African villages.

While the entries cover a broad range of topics, the common thread among them is a highly integrated approach to design - one that is simultaneously comprehensive, anticipatory and aligned with nature's fundamental principles.

This focus on an integrated design strategy is what distinguishes the Challenge and the innovators who have submitted their work from other prize programs.

Deadline for entries is October 30, 2009.
