Are you a student with an innovative green appliance up your sleeve? Electrolux is seeking entries to its fifth annual international student Electrolux Design Lab competition. For the 2007 program, the home appliance manufacturer is focusing on eco-friendly and sustainable household appliances and solutions for the year 2020.
Entries must be commercially viable and demonstrate not only energy and water efficiency, but a new way to foster sustainable behavior and product usage. View the YouTube invitation for more information.
A select group of finalists will earn an invitation to Paris to make a final presentation to the jury and attend the gala dinner and awards ceremony at the end of November. The grand prize winner will receive 5,000 Euros (about $6,700) and a six-month internship at one of Electrolux's design centers.
“We see this competition as one way Electrolux can involve the creativity of young people and get them to focus on a global climate problem that will affect us all,” says Hans Stråberg, Electrolux President and CEO.
Electrolux operates under brand names Electrolux, AEG-Electrolux, Zanussi, Eureka, and Frigidaire.
We would love your feedback!
