Potomac Valley Brick presents the 2nd Annual BrickStainable International Design Competition.
In less than one month all entries must be submitted at www.BrickStainable.com.

The BrickStainable Design Competition seeks integrative design solutions that promote the use of clay brick to achieve sustainability goals. The competition explores the potential of brick construction in the creation of energy efficient building and challenges designers to maximize the physical characteristics of brick. The competition was created by Potomac Valley Brick in 2009

All winners will receive travel and accommodations to the Awards Program on March 31, 2011 in Washington, DC, as well as media exposure in the sustainable design community! The top winner will receive $10,000 and the next group of winners will also receive cash prizes.

So don't delay and remember "time waits for no man!" Finalize your registration and don't forget the December 15th date for the submission of your design entry. Best of luck!

More information is available at www.BrickStainable.com and on Twitter @pvbrick.
