The Buckminster Fuller Challenge 2009
The Buckminster Fuller Institute announces the call for entries to the 2009 Buckminster Fuller Challenge.
The world financial system is in chaos; vital ecosystems are under stress; climate change and its consequences are daily news; and the bare essentials of human life – food, water, and shelter – remain out of reach for billions of people.
Challenges of this magnitude require bold, visionary strategies; they require what Buckminster Fuller called “a design revolution.” Great stand-alone solutions – pieces of a larger puzzle – are out there, but it will take more than an innovative gadget or isolated technological breakthrough to tackle the problems of a complex and interconnected world.
An annual $100,000 prize program to support the development and implementation of a solution that has significant potential to solve humanity’s most pressing problems.
The deadline for entries is midnight (Eastern time) on November 7th, 2008. To enter go here.
