TOPANGA, Calif., Dec. 3 /PRNewswire/ -- Suzy Amis Cameron has created and
developed "Red Carpet Green Dress" to benefit MUSE Elementary, a non-profit
school in Topanga, California, she founded and for 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 also 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® 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 VIP tour of MUSE Elementary; and meet with
Amis Cameron and her husband, Academy Award® 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 today, December 1, 2009, entries will be accepted for "Red Carpet
Green Dress" at redcarpetgreendress.com. The contest is open to anyone across
the globe who meets entry qualifications. The contest ends on January 22, 2010
