Global Irish Design Challenge launched
Irish Design 2015’s Global Irish Design Challenge is now open for submissions until the 30th of November. This is an opportunity for design professionals, students and graduates to be featured in a high-profile exhibition at the new national design centre in Dublin next year, with the potential to tour internationally.
Entrants are invited to submit a product, project or concept that has the potential to revolutionise the way we live. The aim is to showcase innovative Irish design solutions to current and future global challenges while activating and connecting a global network of Irish design talent.
The Global Irish Design Challenge is free to enter and is open to designers of every discipline including architects, furniture designers, animators, service designers, design engineers, fashion and textile designers, product designers, graphic and web designers, etc.
The Challenge accepts new, existing and speculative work, so entrants are welcome to submit a project that they are currently working on, a great idea that they’ve had hiding in their desk for years, or something that has already changed the world and made them famous.
An international panel of high-profile design experts will assess submitted entries, with the announcement of selections planned for January 2016. ID2015’s ambition is that an exhibition of the selected work will be launched in Dublin as part of the centenary celebrations for 2016.
The closing date for entries to the Global Irish Design Challenge is 30 November, 2015. Find out more and register by visiting the Irish Design 2015 website.
