Architectural Designer Contests!

I love architectural contests! Somebody puts up an award, and all these designers submit their best ideas. and Wallah! The community gets a wider range of possibilities to work with.
How can the use of contests help bring forward our collaboration and creativity and further truly sustainable lifestyles, across the US and around the world?
I’ve heard rumors of websites for entrepreneurial fund raising. I just participated in a fundraiser for a green home building project in rural Mexico on Kickstarter.
