‘We’re designing our city’
Good ideas with a positive impact – KulturSPIEGEL and SPIEGEL ONLINE are hosting the first Orange Social Design Award.
The concept
Mobile buildings, wheelchair ramps made with 3-D printers, vegetable gardens for everyone -- KulturSPIEGEL, DER SPIEGEL’s monthly culture supplement, is currently preparing an issue in which we will present exciting and trend-setting social design projects. But that’s not all: KulturSPIEGEL and SPIEGEL ONLINE are organizing the first Orange Social Design Award. We are looking for new designs that improve life in the city. The objects should be reproducible and provide an answer to the following question: How can we best shape the public space in which we live together?
There will be a jury and an audience prize, each with a purse of €2,500. Anyone can participate, and the deadline for submissions is August 31, 2014. Detailed information about the competition and an online application form can be found at www.spiegel.de/orange. The top 10 ideas will be presented as a shortlist on SPIEGEL ONLINE on September 29, and readers will be able to vote for their favorites. On October 27, 2014, the winners of the Orange Social Design Award will be announced in KulturSPIEGEL and on SPIEGEL ONLINE.
We invite you to participate in the contest and look forward to seeing your clever designs that will have a positive impact on city life.
