The Green Design Competition: Winners Announced, July 12th!We are happy to announce the 2 winners of 20 contestants in the first category (Established Entrepreneurs) and 20 in the second category (Up-and-coming Entrepreneurs). Concept PalmLeather Sandals by Tjeerd Veenhoven (NL) - winner in Category 1 (Established design entrepreneurs)
Ento is the winning concept of Jonathan Fraser, Jacky Chung, Julene Aguire and Aran Dasan. They developed a 'roadmap' for introducing edible insects in the Western diet. The jury selected this concept as a winner in this category because of its potential impact and thoughtful approach. Ento cuts a hot topic: the rising global demand for food. The concept can have an enormous impact on the diet of Westerners. The jury praised the design and branding, and simultaneously the potential impact on a large group of people. The jury hopes that Ento uses the prize to further investigate the product and ultimately to develop it. |
