Vote for the Best Green “It Girl” in Project Green Search
October 12, 2009 by Jennifer
Project Green Search is an interesting theory I suppose. The campaign was created by Greenloop, and the goal is to find the next green “it girl” which according to Project Green Search means…
The woman who wants to take a stand, get noticed, and align her career endeavors with her personal beliefs, to be an advocate for the environment, animal welfare, fair trade, and human rights. She’s a model, spokesperson, host, brand ambassador and all around green model citizen, for progressive, sustainable, ethical companies, from fashion & beauty to cars & computers.
Voting on contestants started today, and the winner is going to get…
- A contract with a top tier modeling & talent agency to provide representation for work in print, runway, film/video and television.
- A professional photography session with fashion photographer Courtney Dailey, complete with organic make-up and sustainable designer clothing.
- A 20 piece Eco-Fashion wardrobe.
- A natural and organic beauty shopping spree at Future Natural.
- A Josie Maran Cosmetics gift basket.
- Features, articles and covers in publications including Coco Eco Magazine, Organic Spa Magazine, Peppermint Magazine, E The Environmental Magazine, A Distinctive Style Magazine, Chiffon Magazine, Electrifying Times, Route 66 Pulse, and more tear sheets to build a portfolio.
- Guidance and introductions by LOHAS to sustainable beauty, fashion and other companies.
- A one year stint as the face of Project Green Search.
Holy. In any case, I’m not sure I’m totally on board with contests like this (all those “best looking green people” articles make me a little gagish) because um looks don’t affect actions. BUT that said, the point of this contest is also to find someone walking the green talk. Someone who will advocate for green because they mean it, not because they want to be a modeling star. Which is why I voted for Corey Colwell-Lipson.
Of course you can vote for whoever you like, but I think after you peek at a few of the other entries you’ll vote for Corey anyhow. Many of the girls entered are writing a lot about modeling and using “green terms” in their entry essay, but Corey is actually green, and better yet one of the coolest green mamas out there – that’s right a mama (we all want a mama to win right?) Corey wrote Celebrate Green with her mom and is the founder of Green Halloween – all things we like here at THF.
You can vote for Corey by clicking here, scrolling down to her full name, Corey Colwell-Lipson and giving her some star love. Browse the other contestants too if you like, then come back and let me know who you voted for and why.
I went there with an open mind and after reading some of them I just got tired of them focusing more on the modeling aspect than anything. Some really didn’t seem to care about being “green”. I then read what Corey had to say and was pleased. She really wants to make a difference by helping others make a difference too.
I also like the fact that she is a mom.
I know! Actually, I do really love the work that Corey does, so I pretty much knew I’d vote for her. BUT I did think, well, I should read some others. Bad spelling, model speak, and people talking about really vague green terms, “I recycle!” got old very fast. I too got worn out reading some of the other bios, plus yeah, you cannot beat a mama green advocate! All of us green mamas rock, and I think another mama would be the best green rep for us.
