Humanscale, the ergonomic office products manufacturer, is holding its fifth annual competition/auction on September 28. By designing and donating an animal face design for this event, you will help raise money for the World Wildlife Fund, a leading environmental organization dedicated to protecting the diversity of life.

Designers may submit artwork of any type (mask, sculpture, painting, drawing, photograph, woven design, etc.). All entries must be tangible; easily transportable; made from environmentally friendly, nonperishable materials; and representative of the face of a nondomesticated animal. Artwork will be judged by a distinguished panel representing a wide range of design disciplines. Judges will select winners in three categories:

• Best use of environmental materials
• Best representation of the essence of the animal (personality, presence, look)
• Best overall design.

Winners, who will each receive either a Humanscale Freedom chair or the new Liberty chair, will be announced at the September 28 event at the Humanscale Showroom in New York City. To allow for greater participation and exposure, “Faces in the Wild” for the first time also will be a live auction on the Humanscale Web site. Last year’s event drew 350 attendees and earned more than $25,000 for the WWF.
