<p><!--INFOLINKS_ON-->Exploration of natural systems from the microscopic to the universal unearths vast design potential for overlaying cultural, ecological, and life cycle flows toward determining new architectonic strategies.</p>
<p>The annual d3 Natural Systems competition for 2012 invites architects, designers, engineers, and students to collectively explore the potential of analyzing, documenting, and deploying nature-based influences in architecture, interiors, and designed objects.</p>
<p>All architects, landscape architects, interior designers, engineers, and students are invited to participate. Cash prizes will be awarded to three best proposals.<br />
<span id="more-2269"></span></p>
<h3 id="objective">Innovative Proposals Advancing Sustainable Thought + Performance Wanted!</h3>
<p>The competition calls for innovative <strong>proposals that advance sustainable thought and performance through the study of intrinsic environmental geometries, behaviors, and flows</strong>. By identifying, examining, and applying their structural order on form and function- -bottom-up, performance-based solutions for limitless building typologies, functional programs, and material conditions may be realized.</p>
<p>An architecture of emergence suggests that design expression requires purpose beyond formal assumption and aesthetic experimentation itself. Concurrent with sustainable thought, the d3 Natural Systems competition assumes that architecture does not simply form, but rather perform various functions beyond those conventionally associated with buildings. Design submissions must be environmentally responsible while advancing inventive conceptual solutions. Although proposals should be technologically feasible, they may suggest fantastical architectural visions of a sustainable global future.</p>
<p>The d3 Natural Systems competition <strong>allows designers freedom to approach</strong> their creative process in a scale-appropriate manner -- from large-scale master planning endeavors, to individual building concepts, to notions of interior detail. Accordingly, there are no restrictions on site, scale, program, or building typology, proposals should carefully address their selected context.</p>
<p>Deadlines:</p>
<ul>
<li>Registration deadline: <strong>1 July 2012</strong></li>
<li>Submission deadline: 15 July 2012</li>
</ul>

The height passage underneath should follow international convention of river transport: 15 meters minimum.</li>
<li><strong>Volume:</strong> The volume must relate harmoniously with its context, but also be unique and original.</li>

<p><!--INFOLINKS_ON-->Another branded competition is currently open for entries on jovoto. "The PENNY Plot" is a contest about telling a story that can fit the brand of one of Germany’s biggest discount supermarkets. PENNY is searching for new, creative stories, which build up to and follow up the “First to PENNY” claim.</p>
<p>This is a huge contest on jovoto as it combines telling a story for radio, TV or both. It's open to everyone!</p>
<p>The overall community prize of this contest includes €15,000, €3,000 of which will be awarded to the story that wins the first place.<br />
<span id="more-2031"></span></p>
<h3 id="objective">Story About the PENNY brand</h3>
<p><strong>Tell a story that fits in with the “First to PENNY” claim.</strong></p>
<p>It should be possible to use your story for radio or TV, preferably for both media. What counts is the idea of your story – the more creative and surprising the resolution the better. But it’s up to you which form you decide to present it in.</p>
<ul>
<li>The story as a pure text concept.</li>
<li>The film idea as a treatment, storyboard, animation or even a film (layout).</li>
<li>The radio idea as a script or even a recording (layout).</li>
</ul>
