At the same time, the art itself will continuously distribute clean energy into the electrical grid, with the sculptures having the potential to provide power to thousands of homes in the United Arab Emirates.

WHEN: from September 2010.

PAYMENTS: prize award for the best design: $15,000 (production costs are separate to this).
