COMPETITION - M&S - 'Your Green Idea' - @marksandspencer
@marksandspencer
Sorry about sticking that @ thing in the Title and first line, but I am testing a plan to see if I can make this also of more use once the blog post gets rewteeted on twitter. Not sure how it pops up.
Anyway, without further ado (bar acknowledging that, like the No 38 bus, you get nothing for ages then a ton at once), here we go...
COMPETITION
WHEN: Deadline May 16
WHAT: Your Green Idea
WHAT... MORE?: from their blurb:
Think green, and think big. Is it something that could change the way our customers shop with us for the better?
If your brainwave is picked as the ultimate green idea it could be seen by 21 million people, every week at over 700 M&S stores. And, what's more, you could win £100,000 for your favourite organisation to spend on its green initiative. It could be for a school, local community project, a small business or charity... it's up to you.
HOW MUCH: How we like it: free

COMMENTS: Good luck. But we are pitching here too, so may the best reuse website, second use product design, etc...win. And if we don't, and you found out about it here, mention us at the awards ceremony!
