Benefiting MUSE Elementary, the Red Carpet Green Dress contest will select one design among global entrants to be worn at one of Hollywood's biggest award celebrations
TOPANGA, California, December 7 - Suzy Amis Cameron has created and developed "Red Carpet Green Dress" to
benefit MUSE Elementary, a non-profit school in Topanga, California, she
founded with Rebecca Amis and which she continues to serve as creative
visionary. "Red Carpet Green Dress" is a dress contest providing
opportunities for entrants around the globe to design a dress for Amis
Cameron to wear on the red carpet this awards season.
Amis Cameron developed "Red Carpet Green Dress" to stimulate global green
education and raise funds for MUSE Elementary. "Red Carpet Green Dress"
provides the opportunity for amateur designers to create a black tie dress
made of natural/organic or sustainable materials while encouraging these
future designers to estimate carbon footprints when creating their clothing
lines.
Designs submitted will be reviewed with one grand prize winner chosen by
Amis Cameron. The grand prize winner will have their design brought to life
by Academy Award(R) winning Costume Designer Deborah Scott and worn by Amis
Cameron on an awards red carpet between February and March 2010. The grand
prize winner will also be brought to Los Angeles to consult with Scott on the
design; provided a four-night stay at the luxurious Fairmont Hotel &
Bungalows in Santa Monica; receive a private tour of MUSE Elementary; and
meet with Amis Cameron and her husband, Academy Award(R) winning director and
producer James Cameron.
"'Red Carpet Green Dress' perfectly connects to MUSE Elementary's global
green philosophy by applying environmental awareness to our everyday lives,"
said Amis Cameron. "I look forward to 'Red Carpet Green Dress' becoming a
signature event, not only for MUSE, but also for Hollywood's award season."
Beginning December 5, 2009, entries will be accepted for "Red Carpet
Green Dress" at www.redcarpetgreendress.com. The contest is open to anyone
who meets entry qualifications. The contest ends on January 22, 2010 with the
winner announced on January 29, 2010.
