* Registration Deadline Design

Registration Deadline Design

Registration Deadline: Design Competition: Mowing to Growing: Reinventing the American Lawn The competition is launched in the context of larger issues concerning the environment, global food production and the imperative to generate a sense of community in our urban and suburban neighborhoods. From Mowing to Growing is not meant to transform each lawn into a garden, but to open us up to the possibilities of self-sustenance, organic growth, and perpetual change. In particular, it seeks specific technical, urbanistic, and architectural strategies not simply for the food production required to feed the cities and suburbs, but the possibilities of diet, agriculture, and retrofitted facilities that could achieve that level within the constraints of the local climate. Eligibility: Professionals and students of all fields are eligible to submit. However, there will be two separate categories of judging: one for professionals and college students and the second for high school students. Registration Fee: $150 – Professional teams, $50 – per high school student team; Awards: $10,000 – Professional Prize, $1,000 – Student Prize
