The contest is finally coming to a close.

Its final. The Gold, Silver, and Bronze Award winners has been chosen from the shortlist with the help of designer Nessim Higson. Below are the winners.

The screening process was a tough one, with so many strong entries. But these three not only had the most support but their messages and designs were a step ahead　compared to others. In other words, we felt that realizing Zero Emission is possible through these works.

The contest ends here, but we may return in the future… Its all up to each one of you. Until then, good bye

In the previous post, we’ve announced that the gold award prize is a “Leica M9“. In this post, we are introducing the silver and bronze award prizes.

The silver award prize is Apple Computer’s Macbook Pro. It is Apple’s high-end laptop model with a strong fan base. It excels in artistic expression and it has a reputation of having beautiful graphics.

And the bronze prize award is a Casio EXILIM EX-F1 (pictured). It is named the quickest next generation “high speed camera”. It can take up to 60 pictures per second, and in movie mode can film up to 1200 frames per second.

The shortlist was announced the other day. Who is going to win these prizes? We’ll find out after March 30th when the award winners are announced.

Entry to the INSPIRED BY ZERO Contest has been closed. Total of 179 entries were submitted, and all of them contained passion towards Zero Emission.

The shortlist of top 20 entries had been generated based on the number of “likes” and comments by Facebook users. Below are the entries that made it into the shortlist.
