The competition:

It is an „open“ competition which invites all creatives and designers with professional or semi-professional education without any restrictions of age to submit their works and concepts. Like at the first RecyclingDesignprize 2007 we ask for the design of objects made of “garbage” and/or industrial rests of production. The objects should be conceived for daily use or for décor. The objects should planned for production in “smaller” or “bigger” series in the frame of an institution of employment promotion. It is not allowed to use materials which are marked with the “green point”. Each participant/ team can send a maximum of three works for the competition.

The aim of the designprize:

Via the use of “littered things” (from industry, handicraft), garbage, “residual material” useless things shall become useable. The developed products shall be displayed for sale in institutions of employment promotion and generating so a social usability. The production of “clever”, “beautiful” and “useful” objects which award a prize conduce the environment and are a contribution for employment promotion.

Valuation criteria:

Valuation criteria for projects of recycling design: quality of design, practical value, realizeability (also with physically or psychologically handicapped people, in youth workshops or initiatives of employment), environmental safety, innovation and potential for the future.
