About Competition
Marou Village (Fiji) and the Land Art Generator Initiative (LAGI) invite you to design a work of art in the landscape that will supply clean and reliable electricity and drinking water to the coastal village’s 67 households, support regenerative tourism, and help to build a sustainable future for generations to come.
Two winning teams will each be provided with $100,000 USD to advance their design proposal and build a functioning prototype of their idea in Fiji. Based on the success of these prototypes, and in coordination with local authorities and funding partners, the goal is for one project to be chosen for implementation at full-scale as a pilot project with the Village of Marou.
The outcomes will set a replicable model for designing, implementing, and operating renewable energy and water systems with island communities and for exquisite destinations around the world.
While electricity is a pressing need in Marou Village, also of critical importance is ensuring reliable access to freshwater. As global temperatures rise there is increasing variability and volatility in precipitation patterns. Rainy seasons bring severe flooding while dry seasons are even drier. LAGI 2025 Fiji is therefore seeking innovative solutions that can integrate regenerative energy and water systems.
Whether you are a professional designer, university professor, student, artist, or anyone passionate about designing for a better world, your participation in LAGI 2025 Fiji will help to advance the evolution of climate adaptation design and destination land art.
A book published by Hirmer Verlag, exhibitions held in partnership with the Fiji Arts Council, and a program of community engagement events will communicate the innovative outcomes throughout Fiji and around the world, inspiring the public about the beauty and wealth of possibilities of a world beyond carbon while demonstrating creative adaptations to a rapidly shifting climate.
We welcome you to be a part of this exciting project!
