submission guidelines
We invite applicants to submit a concept proposal for their project. The design must follow the Typology 01 theme, more information on the theme can be found here.
The concept proposal not need to be a finished piece at the time of application. The proposal should clearly communicate your idea and approach to the chosen typology, and can be presented as a short PDF (maximum 5 pages).
The purpose of the submission is to help us understand your concept, thinking, and direction — not to evaluate a final object. Selected participants will have time to develop, refine, and produce their final piece between the selection date in mid February, and the exhibition installation deadline at the end of May.
Selection Criteria
All applications will be reviewed by a jury, and applicants will be selected by February 2026. The submissions will be selcted based on the following criteria:
Conceptual Depth
Originality:
Does the proposal present a fresh perspective or unexpected idea?
Concept Clarity:
Is the concept well-articulated visually and textually? (It doesn’t need to be polished, but it should be understandable.)
Material or process exploration:
Does the project engage critically with the typology (e.g., reinterpret form, explore new functions, etc)?
Does the project show potential for interesting experimentation with materials, making, or techniques?
PDF checklist:
Images that show your concept – a drawing, rendering, or an image of a prototype that explain your idea
Overall dimensions
Concept description – a short written explanation (max 350 words) outlining the idea, how it relates to the typology, and the intended direction of development.
