Prague International Design Festival

ABOUT THE COMPETITION

Designblok in cooperation with EUNIC Cluster CR will launch the ninth edition of the international Diploma Selection competition in 2023.

Diploma Selection showcases the work of Europe's most talented graduates in product and fashion design at Designblok. The winners of both categories receive a financial prize of EUR 1,000 and the opportunity to present their work at the next Designblok.

From the submitted projects, the curatorial board selects a line-up of finalists who will present their diploma works to international judges at Designblok.

HOW TO APPLY?

The Diploma Selection competition is open to graduates of Master's and Bachelor's programmes (if they are completing their studies).

Applications for the 10th edition of the Diploma Selection will be opened in March 2024.
