by Rebecca Walker — September 3, 2010—Architects, designers, contractors, manufacturers, students and others interested in green building innovation and showcasing their ideas on video have a shot at a $1,500 grand prize and bragging rights in a contest sponsored by YKK AP America.
Winners of the YKK AP America “Building a Better Tomorrow, Today” YouTube video competition will be announced at the U.S. Green Building Council’s annual Greenbuild conference in November.
Contestants have until 11:59 p.m. EDT, October 15, 2010, to submit a video of no more than 120 seconds that features “an idea, design, product, or project on how America can enhance the built environment for generations to come from an energy-savings, green-building, or sustainability perspective,” YKK AP says.
In addition to $1,500 in cash, the grand prize includes a $1,000 donation on the winner’s behalf to USGBC Philanthropic Programs. Judges also have the discretion to award an Apple iPad to two runners up. Specifics on the contest rules are available online.
YKK AP America is the U.S. arm of the global manufacturer of architectural products, YKK AP.
