 For ENERGY WORKS MICHIGAN (A Non-Profit Organization)
 * LOGO DESIGN CONTEST**

Entries Due: WEDNESDAY JANUARY 13, 2010, 11pm Energy Works Michigan (Energy Works) is a new non-profit organization based in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Energy Works was awarded a $3.5M grant from the State of Michigan to implement the Michigan Renewable Schools Program.  Energy Works is both an environmentally focused organization, as well as a highly technical resource in the emerging green technologies market, helping to build foundational capacities in the energy efficiency and renewable energy industries. Our staff includes expertise in sustainable architecture, LEED, environmental education, and energy audits. Our organization strives to become the main resource for those seeking unbiased information on energy efficiency and renewable energy improvements in Michigan. Energy Works is currently heading up an exciting and progressive, state-funded energy services program in Michigan. We blaze trails for Michigan K-12 schools in the process of gaining energy efficiency and renewable energy (wind and solar), while providing funding resources and energy-focused lesson plans for Michigan K-12 schools. Together, we are educating the next generation so they can fully contribute to meeting and exceeding the 2030 and 2050 carbon reduction targets. For more information on the Michigan Renewable Schools Program administered by Energy Works, please see our website, __www.energyworksmichigan.org__. ** This logo design contest will provide an image that communicates the role of Energy Works as both a technical resource and an environmentally progressive organization. **We prefer a simple logo with up to 2 colors (this may include the use of additional shades of each color), plus black and white. We will be considering entries that both emphasize the "Michigan" component, as well as those that focus more on "Energy Works" as both an environmentally focused organization and as a highly technical resource. • ** Entries Due: WEDNESDAY JANUARY 13, 2010, 11pm ** • This contest has a short time frame and is open to any graphic designer in any location. • There is no entry fee. • The selected logo design will win a $500 US cash prize. • Logo entries shall be ** jpeg or PDF **format, max. ** 1200x1200 **, min. ** 200x200 **resolution. • The preferred format should include each entry with ** samples of possible applications **(letterhead, stand alone logo, integrated text, etc).

The Gordon Art Fellowship - see Nicole DeKraker or Christine Brown for more info 1. Purpose: The purpose of the //Gordon Art Fellowship// is to nurture the artistic development of promising student artists who are interested in incorporating nature into their art through a close interaction with the natural world. The Institute believes the exploration of art provides a deeper understanding and appreciation of nature. Providing the support to encourage artistic development enhances the mission of the Institute to promote environmental education, research, preservation, and appreciation. The //Gordon Art Fellowship// program enables a student, with support from a faculty mentor, to conduct an intensive two-dimensional visual art project at the Institute. The award will be made based on the quality of the proposal. The student will receive a $3,000 stipend and the faculty mentor will receive an appropriate stipend. The faculty mentor can choose to use all or part of their stipend amount for supplies, equipment, travel, or other support for the project. Each applicant can also request up to 10 weeks of on-site housing and meal support while at the Institute during the summer months. The purpose of this Request for Proposal (RFP) is to obtain grant proposals from members of the Pierce Cedar Creek Consortium for student visual art projects.
