"UrbanTiles, created by Israeli designer Meidad Marzan,
offers a glimpse into how OLEDs could potentially light up our
cityscapes, in the form of two-sided, reversible tiles that have
photovoltaics on one side which collect sun energy during the day, and
on the flip side, OLEDs which shine using that power at night."
The Where Do You Give? National Design Competition
is searching for talented designers who can translate tzedakah's
meaning into compelling, relevant design. That is why we have created a
design competition to invite a new generation of globally conscious
designers to celebrate the critical role that tzedakah plays in today’s
world.
Where Do You Give? challenges artists, designers and conceptual thinkers to create an updated vehicle for givingin the 21st century that inspires a national conversation among all
of us who seek to engage more deeply with our communities—be they
geographic, ethnic, national or other—about where we give, to whom and
why.
Reimagine the
tzedakah box—an ancient ritual object used to collect money for
charitable causes—and you could win $2500, be featured in a national
exhibit and have an opportunity to travel internationally to meet with
some of AJWS’s grassroots partners. Watch this
video or go to
