EESC Design ZeroNine Award
May 25, 2009 | Levent OZLER
To mark the European Year of Creativity and Innovation, the European Economic and Social Committee (EESC) is launching a design competition to create, and later produce, an innovative and sustainable design product, including packaging, with a strong civil society message.
The EESC, in cooperation with the Belgian design organisation, Designed in Brussels, represented by Olivier Gilson, and the independent design curator, Giovanna Massoni, is launching EESC Design ZeroNine in all 27 EU Member States.
The purpose is to create an innovative design product with packaging for a modern, mobile and international audience, aged 30+, which will be officially adopted by the EESC as a promotional gift for its President, Vice-Presidents and Members to be used during official visits and on other designated occasions.
The winning design will be awarded 10.000 Euro and will be produced in a limited edition in 2010 as part of the EESC's communication strategy.
The competition is open to professional designers and design students, either as individuals or teams, who are born or resident in one of the 27 European Union Member States.
