Greetings again from the TEI 2012 Design Challenge Chairs,

THE DESIGN ENTERPRENEUR CHALLENGE is going to be awarded at the TEI
2012 conference in Ontario, Canada on the 19-22. February 2012. The
deadline for the entry is looming. One and a half month to go!

The challenge is aimed at undergrad or graduate students, giving them
an opportunity to get their ideas out into the real world, and into
the hands of TEI community, in the form of getting funding to produce
their designs.


CONCEPT:
The promise of tangible, embedded and embodied interaction is to
transform the way we interact with technology. This year's design
challenge aims to push these transformations beyond the conference and
into the world. The winning work will be WANTED, not just liked, by
the jury and the audience of the conference. This means that the
winning project team will have the responsibility to make the design
happen, to produce it and to deliver it to the participants who vote
for it – with their wallet.

Possible results of this challenge could include:
	• a static but intelligent artifact that is the result of computational process
	• an electronic product that can be easily be built with accessible
parts and existing platforms
	• a large-scale singular installation or intervention that the
audience is willing to enable with their financial support

DATES:
30. Nov 2011		Entry deadline (a simple email with details about your
team and basic concept )
6. Jan 2012		TEI Early Registration
19-22. Feb. 2012	Conference

PRIZES:
	• The most votes from the participants.
	• The most money collected.
	• The judges' award.

Each category will receive $1000 prize on top of the money the votes
add up to. This money is to be used to produce and deliver the works
to the voters.
