Eco-geeks, take note: Dell is looking for designs for environmentally responsible computing technology, and it's ready to pay you for the best ones.

The company today announced a contest called "ReGeneration: International Green Computing Technology Design Competition," though which competitors are invited to submit "ideas that demonstrate fresh approaches and responsible solutions for green computing technology." In other word, the abacus, as eco-friendly as it may be, is out.

The professionally juried competition is open to all, with a focus on students of universities and colleges that offer design programs

Finalists will receive $10,000 each. Another $15,000 will go to the competitors whose idea who wins a popular vote to be held online. If that winner is a student, his or her school will be eligible for another $15,000.

The submission period spans January through April, 2008; finalists will be announced next May.
