Cool Hunting
As part of Design Blogfest 2007, CH readers have a chance at a prime sliver of Manhattan real estate. The Apartment's Crosby Street window has showcased post-its and chalkboards, but for the duration of New York Design Week they're generously turning it over to indie design.
If you're a designer with a prototype that you think deserves window treatment, please upload an image from your website or Flickr, a brief description and the keyword "designblogfest" here in Wists. We, the Design Blogfest bloggers, will create a shortlist on Monday afternoon after which we'll ask you, the readers, to vote on the best design. To keep tabs on the entries check the Design Blogfest Wists page.
• Monday, 14 May 2007, 12noon EST, deadline for entries via Wists
• Tuesday, 15 May 2007, shortlist of finalists, voting begins
• Wednesday, 16 May 2007, 12noon EST, voting ends
