PINA Design Contest FAQ’s

Why are the duplicate entries under both categories?

Our judges carefully analyzed each and every entry and gave each one a rating.  Two of the highest-rated designs came from designers who were also recent graduates of a PDC.  Therefore, they qualified for both categories.

Who is allowed to vote for their favorite design?

Voting is open to PINA members only.  If you are not a PINA member, you can easily become one by signing up for one of our low cost membership plans.

Who were the judges of the PINA Permaculture Design Contest?

The judges for this year’s Permaculture Design Contest included PINA Board and Staff members: Peter Bane, Matt Bennett, Gloria Flora, Jane Hayes, Elizabeth Lynch, & Bob Randall.
