Application Requirements

An all-volunteer Jury made up of green building peers, experts, and enthusiasts from a variety of disciplines, will select 10 presentations from submitted projects. Presentations should focus on telling the story of the green or sustainable theme of a member’s work and its implementation. This could be based on a project, building system, client, theory, site, business model, etc. All presentations must be educational in nature and as brand agnostic as possible. All proposals perceived as advertising a specific vendor or product will be disqualified. Projects may be submitted whether they have been completed or not. Projects that were submitted last year but were not selected or could not present for other reasons, are eligible to submit again this year. Limit of one presentation proposal per application. You may submit more than one application, and they will be considered individually, but if selected you will only be selected for one presentation. Registration Deadline: This linked form must be completed in full and submitted by July 28, 2025, at 5:00pm. Email questions to Heidi Helgeson at Slam@northwestgreen.org
