All you readers with kids, here's something for you (actually your kids)

Announcement and opportunity from my friend Mason K. (who now lives right in my 'hood and who has an office spitting distance from my front door)





I have some excellent news to share with you: AMK's First Annual Kids' Digital Design Contest is now up and running! It's a free juried digital design contest that we are putting on for kids between the ages of 0 and 15. That's right--take care to protect your keyboard from animal crackers and spilled juice boxes--this competition challenges kids and (with their parents help) to use SketchUp to create a "structure for living" in an aquatic, intertidal site. SketchUp is free to download, easy to learn and dangerously difficult to put down) There are separate age groups to ensure fair competition and plenty of cool prizes for participants as well as winners. For further information and links to free software downloads, click on this link.

Entries are due September 15th and winners will be announced on September 22nd as part of the AIA San Francisco's "Architecture and the City Festival." So head to our contest page for more information, or feel free to forward this mail on to anyone you know that might be interested in entering-- the more the better.

Ok, I hope to hear that the winner is some child of a reader of this blog!
