Winner Foresight Award 2010:

Sustainable Future: Seattle in Context, Debra Guenther (Mithun; other entrants: Phoebe Bogart, Erin Jacobs, David Malda)

Description: Rather than defining a vision for 100 years from now this proposal suggests the importance of a deliberate framework for the dialogue about how we utilize and adapt the resources of the City that we all share to achieve our collective goals over time. It suggests that diverse interests can be reconceived and the complexities potentially reintegrated to untangle what seem like intractable problems. No outcome is provided but rather all the perspectives, values and outlooks are encouraged to participate in the sifting of cards – the complexity of trade-offs. Far from discouraging the “Seattle process”, this proposal supports expanding on the strengths that come from dialogue, drawing in points of view that are representative of our population and ultimately to refine and improve our inclusive process for decision making that gives parity to economy, environment and equity.
Goal(s): Create dialogue.
Vision for 2100: A game as a thought-provoker based on the amount of the publicly-owned land in Seattle (30% of the city is rights-of-way and 10% parks). Play the Seattle game (pdf).

Winner Horizon Award 2010:

Mommy, Why Are People So Important?: A Sustainable Future for Seattle, Sara Nikolic (other entrants: Milo and Nani Nikolic)

Description: Earlier this month, my four-year-old daughter, Nani, asked me, “Mommy, why are people so important?” Her six year-old brother, Milo, replied, “Because it’s our job to take care of the planet.” And so began a bigger conversation about what it means to take care of the planet, and the people and nature that call it home. Our entry is a collage based on our subsequent family discussions of what we—as individuals and as a city—need to do to “take care of the planet,” and how our city will look in 2100 if we all do a good job. Of course, there will be some personal biases: Milo loves birds and trains and Nani loves flowers and rainbows, so you can bet that we envision a lot of those in 2100.
Although the final product is the collage, the real entry is the process that went into creating it. I believe as parents we have the responsibility to not only model environmental and social sustainable behavior, but to also take opportunities (like a curious question from a four year-old) to teach these values in a way that makes the lessons fun and allows them to take ownership. The collage was a perfect opportunity to do this.
Goal(s): Livable neighborhoods, sustainable transportation, and affordable quality housing for all.

Magical Impact, Karin deWeille (Love carries my cup)

Description: This is the Dream/The Reality: People in 2100 look back through a century of extraordinary evolution and adaptation to the year 2011 when people first discovered how much more capable they were of change than they realized. This was
when the first QC (Quick Collective Habit Change) took place. Large numbers of Seattleites took three weeks to target a specific habit, supporting each other in the effort like people who diet together, except the task was much easier than dieting—to get used to bringing ones own cup rather than buying and then chucking the supposedly disposable kind. Each individual was changing a personal habit, which
in itself could feel insignificant, but because they were doing it in concert, they knew they were having a major impact. It felt magical; hence the name of the campaign Magical Impact.
Goal(s): Preservation of habitat and biodiversity; climate protection; happy, safe & satisfied citizens..
Vision for 2100 and steps to get there: Check out The New World Habit Exchange

Vision for 2100 and steps to get there: 
How would that change weddings, bar mitzvahs, confirmations and funerals? How would that change things for every organization connected with that sacred location -- the schools, clubs, caterers, community groups and food banks?

Sunset Substation Park, Matt Hutchins (CAST architecture, GroundswellNW, Sunset Hill Community Association), Winner of the Insight Award 2010

Description: Seattle’s network of obsolete, decommissioned electrical substations could become a network of neighborhood friendly, solar powered pocket parks, capable of generating more than a MegaWatt of solar power in Seattle per year.
A proposal by CAST architecture, with local community groups Groundswell NW and the Sunset Hill Community Association (SHCA), envisions repurposing these brownfield sites as pocket parks with photovoltaic solar canopies overhead.
The prototype park was designed with community input, and set to be carbon neutral, have net zero water use and be one of the first projects worldwide to meet the Living Building Challenge's stringent sustainable building standard.
CAST architecture sees this project as a prototype for the reuse of the more than thirty decommissioned substations throughout Seattle as a way to increase the amount of open space available to the public without expensive land acquisition, and help keep Seattle be on the forefront of renewable energy generation.
