Zink Zero Boundaries Design Contest Finalists announced vote on Peoples Choice

As covered here in May (see "Zinks Design Contest"), Zink is sponsoring a contest intended to let would-be printer designers "re-imagine printing and its role in the digital world". The 40 finalists spanning two categories have just been announced, and can be reviewed at the ZINK ZeroBoundaries Finalists web page.

In a conversation with Zink earlier today, just as they were preparing to release the information on the finalists, executives urged me to share the word with my readers about a new award thats been added, that involves you! With 40 finalists split among the two categories, a third prize has been added. From the release:

NEW! Now it is your turn to become a judge. ZINK Imaging has opened up judging to the public with a Peoples’ Choice Award. Voting is open now through July 13 at www.ZINKZeroBoundaries.com/vote.

While the "peoples choice" angle fits right in with popular cultures penchant these days for audience participation, theres also a related tie-in to crowdsourcing. John Winsors recent BusinessWeek viewpoint, "Crowdsourcing: What It Means for Innovation", comes to mind as a source for a little more background on recent trends like outsourcing in fields such as industrial design.
