FSC House Competition Ending Soon

Hey kids, (well hey students and individuals with less than five years experience in the building industry), time is running out on an interesting competition. It is for a display house 20'x20'x10' that will be on display at Greenbuild 07 in Chicago in the fall. We think they will be using it in a lot of shows, because we saw it listed in a subsequent Canadian show. The idea is promote FSC materials, and to "connect the next generation of design and building professionals with the "greenest" building materials on the planet: FSC certified wood products."

It reminds us of the Sustainable Condo designed by Busby Perkins and Will in Canada five years ago that is still wowing crowds on the green tour circuit. (shown above and here in Treehugger)

Prize includes building your house, air fare and accommodation to Chicago for Greenbuild, and a big career boost. But hurry- contest closes June 29. ::FSC House
