Here are some sample ideas for projects that would qualify for the EnviroExpo Special Award.  All of these projects combine science that addresses an environmental issue with art to enhance the communication of message.

Without the inclusion of an artistic element in your science project, you will not be eligible to win the EnviroExpo Special Award or in the Environmental Innovation division.

• Music: Write a song about your project that examines organic waste decomposition into biogas (a future friendly compound) or create a piece of original music.

• Performance: Act out a play that shows the benefits of your project invention on society, or what would happen without the use of your invention.

• Graphic Design: Make your display board on solar power technology stand out with relevant and compelling graphic designs that enhance the understanding of your research objective.

• Web Design: Create a website about your project on new wind power technologies (or better yet, your own wind power technologies).

• Video Production: Create a video about your project that explains how you have developed a new kind of organic material that will decompose plastic bags.

• Painting: Paint images of the world after the introduction of your plant-powered insulation method.

• Sculpture: create a sculpture that depicts what the world would look like in the future if your new method of recycling was introduced into daily life.

• Packaging Design: Design a creative package to better market your new sun-powered portable refrigerator to the masses.
