Call for Entries: Second Annual GREEN Log Homes & Lifestyle Awards

Now that going green is as patriotic as red, white and blue, America's building industry now has a green version of the Academy Awards. After a promising premiere in 2008, the non-profit GREEN LOG Homes & Lifestyles Awards have announced their 2009 Call for Entries. Bringing outstanding products to the forefront of public and media attention, the Green Log award recognizes remarkable green solutions from America's log and timber home building industry.

The mission of the 2008 Green Log Awards program is to provide information and inspiration on those building a greener world, one home at a time. Complete nomination forms available here. There are no fees associated with the nomination or award process.

To foster healthier home environments that conserve our planet's natural resources, the 2009 Green Log Awards judging panel will bestow the Green Log Award emblem in May 2009 to companies making a green difference today. Part of this recognition will include a People's Choice award since voting for the Green Log nominees will be open to the public at polling places on blogs and websites.

The public will be able to choose from among dozens of outstanding, eco-sustainable solutions and learn more about the companies behind them. Following the open voting period, judges will evaluate and ultimately decide the 2009 Green Log Award finalists. For details on the judging panel, click here.

The 2009 Green Log Awards campaign also offers sponsorship opportunities that allow companies to demonstrate their resolve to positive change and innovation in the green home industry. Award polling places will be among those linked to in a large number of social media channels across the Internet. In addition, the Green Log Awards team will be utilizing Green Media Toolshed, a nationally distributed press bureau in promoting and bringing awareness about the awards program, nominees, and sponsors.
