Rado Star Prize
South Africa 2014: Last call for entries
Are you a talented
designer waiting to be discovered? Have you entered your project for the Rado
Star Prize South Africa 2014? If not, now’s your chance.
With the closing
date for entries August 31fast approaching this is your chance to enter for a
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.
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.
“The Rado Star
Prize South Africa 2014 is looking for Social Design projects from talented
design students or recent design graduates,” says the publicity material. ”Rather
than creating something beautiful and functional just to create something
beautiful and functional, social design focuses on benefits. What can your
design project really do for the individuals and communities it is designed
for? Can your fashion project make crossing the road safer? Will your lighting
project help to educate a community? Can your audio design project make a
community a safer or healthier place to live? Rado doesn’t know the answer to
these questions but we’re looking forward to seeing what you can do and what
benefits your project can bring. This could be the start of something not only
beautiful, but also beneficial. Surprise us and show the world what you can do!”
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.
