Max Brooks www.maxbrooks.com Max Brooks (also a juror for the ZSHC) has been extremely supportive of our efforts to bring the Zombie Apocalypse to the international design stage. Max Brooks is considered by many to be one of the world’s foremost Zombie preparedness experts. As we all know, the world we live in has become a rather scary place, and the global increase in the number of Zombie attacks isn’t helping matters any. According to the Office of Homeland Security, Brooks is the preeminent authority on dispatching the relentless, flesh-eating armies of Zombies that seem to be everywhere these days.

Architects Southwest www.architectssouthwest.com Architects Southwest has been a significant supporter to the Zombie Safe House Competition. “There is a rich subculture of architectural design ideas which is driven by design competitions which are open to the international community. The members of our design firm have always shared an interest in the process and results of these competitions and have even competed in a few. We had considered the possibility of creating our own competition on multiple occasions but had not come across a design intent which we felt was defined enough to drive a design without controlling the parameters to such a degree that it would limit the variation in the results. Nearing the Halloween holiday, the idea was proposed that a safe house for a zombie apocalypse might serve as a suitable design program for such an ideas based competition. The company has experienced most of its gain in the form of free advertising in markets which were not previously accessible to us in a standard format. We have learned invaluable amounts about the use of social media and the free flow of digital information as a tool to promote your company. We are hoping that as we become more adept at this form of media we will see more gains in the form of an expanded market of clientele.” (From an interview provided to CBCWeekly, China)
