Bartcelona International Design Contest

Bartcelona.org design edition is launching a contest for professional designers as well as design students with the aim of promoting creativity and making it possible for young designers to realize their ideas and reflect upon the way in which design – from its most practical to its most abstract expressions – influences the shopping mall experience.

The contest will have three main categories: design, show and dream, each focusing on different aspects of design in shopping malls.

Design category:
objects, spaces, graphic and signage for a new conception of the mall.

Show category:
Features and installations to create a distinctive visual experience in shopping malls.

Dream category:

Open to new ideas about the future design of shopping malls.

Submitted materials must be originals and cannot have been published anywhere prior to the announcement of the contest results.

Eligibility

The contest is open to people of all nationalities between the ages of 18 and 40 who study or work in the field of design, either individually or collectively. Each person or group can submit only one proposal per category.

Prize

A total of 20 finalists will be chosen from all submitted entries and exhibited during a period of more than two weeks in Glòries and another venue, which is still to be determined. The jury will then choose three winners among them.

The first prize winner will be awarded with € 5,000, the second prize winner with € 3,000 and the third prize winner with € 2,000. Furthermore, the event sponsors (Freixenet, Swatch) will give a present to all finalists, including the winners.
