WITHOUTPOCKETS TSHIRT CONTEST - WIN $1,500

Without Pockets is an Australian t-shirt design competition run by a guy named Simon (who is helped out by a couple of his mates.)

It occurred to Simon a while back that people are getting pickier and pickier about the stuff they buy. Customisation is the name of the game and people love it when they can purchase something that has a personal element - this is never more true than with clothing.

As well as that, Simon loves a great tee. He also noticed how many people were making really awesome tees of their own... customised to the max. As these realisations collided, Without Pockets was conceived.

SAYEMBARA RUMAH MUNGIL - TABLOID RUMAH

Ruang gerak terbatas, udara pengap, dan kebisingan menjadi kondisi yang seolah harus diterima penduduk kota.

Dengan latar belakang itu, Tabloid RUMAH mengadakan sayembara desain rumah hemat energi. Dari sini, dapat digali ide-ide kreatif dalam mengolah desain tempat tinggal yang memperhatikan konteks lingkungan.

Sayembara ini juga diselenggarkan dalam rangka kampanye Sahabat Lingkungan yang digaungkan Tabloid RUMAH tahun ini. Diharapkan, dengan sayembara ini kepedulian masyarakat terhadap akan lingkungan akan meningkat

Karya-karya desain yang dihasilkan nanti diharapkan dapat menjadi inspirasi bagi masyarakat dalam membangun rumah tinggal yang hemat energi dan ramah lingkungan.

DEADLINE : 5 OKTOBER 2007

SYARAT DAN KETENTUAN
· Peserta adalah mahasiswa S1 jurusan Arsitektur yang masih terdaftar sebagai mahasiswa semester genap 2006-2007, secara perorangan.
