The judges have spoken. Our nine-part series on life in an "Ecotopian" future took the top spot in this year's tough competition.
October 19, 2015--Green Builder's staff was delighted (and frankly surprised) to receive one of journalism's most prestigious awards this week, winning an Eddie in the national Folio competition, up against top entries from several of the construction industry's biggest publishing companies.
"It really gives you hope that the public is ready for a new direction, a vision that is not dystopian, but positive, constructive and hopeful," says series author Matt Power, Editor-In-Chief of Green Builder magazine.
The Celestia Project was a massive project that took a year to produce, and includes dozens of original illustrations, complex timelines, videos and research on current and evolving trends that are pointing toward sustainability.
What happens now? Plans are in play to turn the Celestia Project into an interactive exhibit in a prominent western city. If you're in the sustainability business, and want to get involved, contact Green Builder's CEO, Sara Gutterman, at sara.gutterman@greenbuildermedia.com.
