Lo's project G1 Grand Prix (G1GP) won in the Graphics, Land Student category. G1GP is a conceptual professional automobile race exclusively for environmentally friendly cars that produce low-to-zero harmful emissions and run on sustainable biofuels.

"It's important that we all share our awareness of the reality of the diminishing supply of fossil fuels and our contribution to global warming," Lo said.

Phil Hamlett, Academy of Art University Director of Graduate Studies for the School of Graphic Design, and co-chair for AIGA's Center for Sustainable Design, instructed both Able and Lo in their MFA studies.

"Teaching sustainable design is a primary focus and we have seen a growing understanding of this amongst our students, an understanding that is reaching beyond simply designing a sustainable class project. We are seeing an increased awareness of what sustainable design means in the much larger picture, and with competitions like IDA, these students are being acknowledged for their understanding," Hamlett said.
