Rules and criteria for judging.

To take part, you must provide valid proof that you are currently enrolled in a course of studies or provide a degree certificate that is no older than two years. Also, the person registering the work must have created the piece of work. Apart from final projects as part of a course of studies, the work can of course also be a creative entry that was designed outside of the degree. There are absolutely no restrictions on that own creation, as the main criteria used by the jury to judge the work are design quality, originality, emotional quality and conciseness.
Be brave and measure yourself against the top names of the global design scene!
