Event Description

The voting has begun!

Some of DC's most creative thinkers submitted a ton of great ideas to the Define Live-Work contest over the past three weeks.

Now the real fun begins.

From July 24 through July 31, everyone will be able to rate each idea.

The highest rated idea will win $500!

Plus, one idea will be selected from the highest rated ideas and will actually be staged in the Solea live-work space at 1405 Florida Avenue by a professional designer.

Come back on August 20 to for an awards ceremony and to see the space transformed into a real live-work environment.

FREE BEER! :)

Comment by Sarah Massey on July 26, 2009 at 11:38am: Dear friends,
For some reason, this invitation has got me truly inspired and I dream of a space where artisans, craftsmen and craftswomen, and community can connect around eco-design. Zen space, workshops, artists-in-residence will show how you can save money, while buying green, local design and making your own curtains, furniture, and so forth. I call it TBL Design, Triple Bottom Line Design = economically, environmentally, and community sustainable.

Please login and vote for TBL Design at Define Live-Work: http://www.definelive-work.com/entries#5099

The winner gets $500 and a chance to see their vision staged by a designer. That's great. If I win, I will take this opportunity to bring in more visionaries, artists, community members and launch this enterprise. We can generate income through sales, barters, commissions, workshops, and apprenticeship programs. Today, there are a ton of empty spaces in our neighborhoods that need community and creative approaches to economy.

For example, the absolutely fabulous Amy Melrose has an entry which is synchronistic to TBL Design, titled "Let's Create An Urban Green Space." Vote for her, vote for me, vote for us to bring more green to our neighborhood.

THANKS! Love, Sarah
