Green Building Design Competition
USGBC's Natural Talent Design Competition provides applied learning experience in the principles of integrated design, sustainability, and innovation, all of which are components of the LEED® Green Building Rating System™. Participants compete in local competitions, and the top winner of each moves on to compete for a national award at USGBC’s annual Greenbuild International Conference & Expo. Awards include green building scholarships, as well as travel and registration to Greenbuild, where finalists’ entries are displayed and final judging occurs. Now in its sixth year, the next Design Competition will take place November 11-13, 2009, at Greenbuild in Phoenix.

2008 Winners
Started six years ago by USGBC’s Emerging Green Builders, the Natural Talent Design Competition is an annual contest for students and young professionals to practice sustainable design concepts around local community projects. Each year, participating USGBC chapters, affiliates, and host committees hold local competitions which each group’s winning project team participating in the national competition. The winners are selected at Greenbuild by a jury of distinguished design professionals. The awards are presented during the closing plenary.
