The Sustainable Thinking Platform has launched the second edition of its multimedia competition aimed at young people aged 18-30 years old. The challenge is to take a picture, write an essay or to create a video that can inspire others to embrace sustainability as a way of life and answers the question:“With an ever-increasing population, how can we maximise resource efficiency to meet our growing needs?”

Participants will be competing for the chance to win a laptop computer, a photographic camera or a camcorder depending on the entry category. Even if you are not a winner, you may not have to walk away empty handed. By spreading the word of the competition amongst your friends, you will increase the chances of being awarded a 100 Euro Amazon gift certificate. As in the previous edition, participants are asked to rate other members’ work. These votes will be used to select the finalists for the competition, with the winners chosen by a professional panel of journalists and industry representatives. So hurry up, join the STP community, upload your work before the submission deadline of 31 November 2010. For further details, please visit the Sustainable Thinking Platform.

How would it be,
a place to feel free?

Where energy flows, in the middle of nature,
so humankind grows, to finally be mature..

There is a place on earth, that is looking like that.
I want to create it, it’s all in my head.

First thing we need, is a steady organization,
where young people go, and find inspiration.

(Idea 1.a inspiration factory)

When this is launched, we can talk one on one,
then we start to get serious things done.

Let’s get back to that place where we feel free to live,
to experience, to learn to create and to give.

(Idea1.b. sustainable energy park)

A place where we live and invite life to us,
we see how it goes, we experiment, plus…

we create an environment to get us on top,
on top of the world, the future nonstop.

How is the future? No person knows,
the future is us, the youth is who knows.

I have NoBorders, and together with youth,
we don’t follow orders, we inspire the good.

So let us all unleash our light,
and fight for the things that we think are right.
