Rado Star Prize
South Africa 2014: Call for projects
Have you got what
it takes to put South African design on the world map? Is your design talent
just waiting to be discovered? Now’s
your chance to show what you’re made of, with your entry to the Rado Star Prize
South Africa 2014.
Rado is a globally
recognised brand, famous for innovative design and its use of revolutionary
materials to create some of the world’s most durable watches. Ever since its
beginnings in Lengnau, Switzerland, Rado has had a pioneering spirit, with the
brand philosophy “if we can imagine it, we can make it” still holding true
today. Design is at the heart of what
Rado does and this is underlined by the 30 prestigious international design
awards Rado has won for its watches.
April marks the
launch of the Rado Star Prize, which gives one talented designer the chance to
win 100,000 ZAR and a blog on the rado.com design platform throughout 2015.
With hundreds of thousands of individual visits to the Rado website each month,
it’s a great way to make your voice heard and get your work seen.
The Rado Star Prize
is an established competition that has run in seven different countries around
the world, and which supports young and non-established designers by giving
them a platform to show their work.
As part of Rado’s
year of support for the World Design Capital Cape Town 2014, Rado is running
its competition for the very first time in South Africa. Endorsed by Icsid (International Council for
the Societies of Industrial Design) the competition focuses on Social Design
and we’re looking for projects from any field of design that can benefit an
individual or a community now or in the future.
To find out more,
and to enter, visit the Rado Star Prize South Africa 2014 website www.radostarprize.co.za and watch the
video. It could be your entry that makes
a difference and wins the top prize! The
competition is open to design students and non-professional designers living in
South Africa and looking to start their career in design in South Africa. The closing date for entries is August 31, 2014.
