Here is an opportunity to apply or nominate someone for a Globe Award for Innovation.
Criteria
There are four domains of innovation (each having modular and systemic aspects): Technical, Biotic, Social, Conceptual. Rather than provide rigid definitions for the Sustainable Innovation category of Globe Award, the Globe Award offers applicants wide latitude in their submission. Six sequential criteria which will be used to evaluate and judge candidate sustainable innovations: prime, prosperity, people, planet, perpetuity and principle.
- Prime: Is it a genuine innovation?
- Prosperity: Is it economically viable?
- People: Is it socially viable?
- Planet: Is it ecologically viable?
- Perpetual: Is it renewable into perpetuity?
- Principle: Is it ethically viable?
Sustainable City Award
My friend and colleague, Marilyn Hamilton, (author of Integral City), is one of the judges for the Globe Award Sustainable City 2010. She says, “This is a fantastic opportunity for the cities to get global recognition for their sustainability work. The Globe Award focuses on a holistic perspective to Sustainability and we encourage both big and small city initiatives, from both small and large cities all over the world to submit their projects.”
