Overview

Important trends have shaped this year's competition. The ever-expanding
material culture of the 21st century means that concept matters more than
ever. Today's consumers are sophisticated and informed, with a nearly
endless array of choices. Design is a global language and an integral part
of a borderless development and production process.

New technologies and improved communications have shortened the design
cycle. Good ideas spread like wildfire, adopted and internalized quicker
than ever. Dramatic improvements in manufacturing and supply chain
management will soon make short-run production viable.

Today, we find a newly emergent process of design: a distributed process
that re-focuses individual efforts through fresh technologies. Designers and
vendors worldwide can easily work together to realize complex goals faster
than ever. Technology allows this cooperative development and manufacturing
to be cost-effective and realistic for many players.

The internet is an ideal medium for exposing complex ideas to a global
audience. Through its interconnected web, new concepts can quickly inspire
discussion, thought, and even greater innovation. Core77, as a focal point
of the international design community, is in a unique position to facilitate
this worldwide exchange.

Individual abilities make this competition and the exhibition possible.
Integration of those abilities make it exceptional.

Themes

Competition
Judging and handling of the winning entries for this competition will
highlight the global aspects of a cross-cultural design process, as we
oversee an international design coalition to turn winning concepts into high
resolution 3D renderings for print and screen-based presentation,
web-viewable virtual 3D models, and high-end prototypes.

Entries
All entries for this competition should connect to the concept of "NEED."
Participants should explore the potential of design as it relates to this
concept. All participants should communicate in writing how their entry addr
esses this concept. All supporting materials ( i.e. sketches, renderings,
diagrams, etc. ) should visually communicate how the entry addresses this
concept.

Participants should not limit their thinking to "products" in a traditional
sense. This means that ideas, systems, public spaces or other objects are
all valid forms of entry. However, all entries must have a 3D component.

Entries will be judged not only on how well they communicate and address an
idea, but also on the strength and originality of the idea itself. Project
entries should ultimately expand and contribute to our present understanding
of what design and products can be.

Judges and Judging

Entries will be judged in three ways:

- The strength, originality and creative qualities of their concept
- How well the concept is communicated, in writing and images
- How thoroughly the concept is analyzed and developed

This is a conceptual product design competition; entries can NOT currently
be in production.

The judges for this competition are as follows:

Anne Ellegood - Curator at the New Museum of Contemporary Art
