PROJECT DESCRIPTION
AWARD CRITERIA
We are seeking a design project from the categories of Fashion & Textiles, Costume, Jewellery & Precious Metalwork, Ceramics & Glass and Contemporary Crafts, that aligns with our ethos: to create a fairer, healthier, more sustainable and regenerative world, using the power of creative thinking.
We want to award designers that have chosen to use their creativity, skills and talent to create change in one of key impact areas:
Community
Education & Learning
Environment & Sustainability
Equality & Justice
Health, Wellbeing & Disability
War & Crisis
The winning work will be an engaging, passionate and hope-filled response that aims to improve society for the better, not ‘more of the same’. With the potential to educate, inspire, excite and encourage new behaviours, this excellently researched and innovative project could re-direct our world trajectory towards a positive new future.
We are especially interested in the use of sustainability models, upcycling and repurposing materials or a provocation/statement piece that raises awareness and calls people to action.
As creatives, we have the ability to think differently – to change the things that are not serving us and our planet. We are excited and honoured to present our award to the project we feel has the potential to touch the lives of many and make a difference.
