New York, NY (PRWEB) September 30, 2013 -- After 7 years of building a world-leading design award, Spark has launched the Spark>Transport Award for 2013. Information and communication technology is enabling mobility to go to the next level. Mobility is moving into a world with a rich new spectrum of transportation products and services. They address vital social concerns and can help billions of people to live better lives.

Spark>Transport is the first US-based design competition focused on mobility. Given the importance in promoting breakthrough transport design, Spark is striving to become the most respected mobility design award in the world. Spark>Transport will bring a new level of awareness to the design side of the smart mobility future.

With the 10/10/13 entry deadline rapidly approaching, Spark organizers encourage innovative designers and companies to enter Spark>Transport asap.

Spark President, Peter Kuchnicki, stated that "Spark Transport is one of our most exciting and important new competitions, exploring innovative transportation developments that use natural resources more efficiently. Spark Transport will shine a spotlight on audacious designs and technologies that challenge the current state of the art."

Spark Transport aims to identify solutions with the most potential, whether they be cars, bicycles, public transportation or other major modes perhaps not yet conceived. With the human population expected to exceed 9 billion before 2050 and global warming rapidly increasing, the need for sustainable and desirable transportation is of particular concern.

“Designers understand that today’s consumers are looking to do their part to make the world a better place," said Kuchnicki. "A Spark Award clearly signifies and identifies a sustainable design."
