Azerbaijan's social initiative IDEA (International Dialogue for Environmental Action) has rolled out its Eco-Home project, with support from information portal Day.Az.

The idea of the project is to exhibit designs in the genre of “Eco-Friendly Homes” that take a responsible approach to the environment around them, and with an eco-friendly attitude to the future.

From the 1^st of February, young people who want to enter this competition project can register their entry and submit their designs in '.jpg' format, before applications close on 10^th March.  The designs for an “Eko-Ev”, or 'Eco-Home' projects need to be accompanied by a short description.  Then, once entries close on 10^th March, there will be the chance to vote for the best designs on the site, for a month of voting.

The ten designs which poll the most 'likes' will go through to the Final, where a professional jury will judge the best designs, and pick three overall winners. The three best designs will win prizes valued at  €2800, €1880 and €970 respectively.  In addition to this, the winner of the First Prize will get a chance for work experience abroad, and the winner of the Second Prize will have the same chance in Azerbaijan.

The complete details about entering the competition can be found on a specially-prepared internet site at www.idea.day.az.
