Christmas Giveaways competition over, but....

Date: December 17, 2007, posted by joni
 

We have chosen the winners and sent them private messages. If you didn't win, don't worry.
Although the Christmas Giveaway competition is over, you can still see our prizes and read through some of the blogs that inspired them.
 

First up, Berlin's (and the world's) favourite bear, Knut, came to represent climate change with his sheer cuteness (or should that be knutness?) and highlighted the threat posed to his habitat by global warming. Read the blog from Von Ross here. Images of Knut were soon signed and copyrighted, and a myriad of cheesy songs were composed, but nothing was as cute as the real thing. The Knut toys were quickly bought up, but we have one to give away!
 
 
Prize: Knut Toy
 
The film by Nobel lauriet and former “next president” Al Gore. You can watch Al Gore and the speech he gave in Berlin on the Video Blog here. Or win our prize!
 
 

Prize: An Inconvenient Truth DVD
 

During our Green Architecture Special which coincided with the WIRED LivingHome we presented a range of sustainable building practises and architect interviews. One was an interview with Travis Price by Joni Taylor. Price also has a wonderful new book out which you can win. It is sure to be a great Christmas read.
 
 
Prize: Book: The Archaeology of Tomorrow: Architecture and the Spirit of Place by Travis Price
 

But as we also examined in our features on Eco-houses, houses don't need to be high-tech. There are some simple techniques anyone can implement in the building of their homes. That's why we are giving away a copy of this super little book about small eco houses!
 
 

Prize:Book: Small Eco Houses by Simone Schleifer
 

WIRED magazine was a partner in presenting the sustainable LivingHomes, designed by the renowned Ray Kappe and built in LA and covered by Anke Herder in a photo-special. WIRED magazine is a favourite here, and each month it brings you the latest, from techno-wiredness to cutting edge scientific breakthroughs. We are giving away a whole years subscription!
 

 

Prize: I year WIRED magazine subscription.
 

Here at Club of Pioneers we attended many of the large auto shows of 2007 and presented the most advanced developments in car designs. We were at the IAA in Frankfurt, where we showed you videos of The Loremo and the Mercedes Blutec hybrid amongst others. Last month Jörg Frommann was at the LA Motor show and brought us videos of The Green car of the 2008 and The Lohner Porsche . But if you missed out on the car shows, don't worry. We are giving away Richard Dredge's book “ Concept Cars: designing the future” with 190 colour photographs and illustrations. “It is a discovery of the fantastic, the extraordinary, and just plain outlandish creations of the automotive industry. “
 
 
Prize:Book:Concept cars - designing the future
