Prague International Design Festival

ABOUT THE COMPETITION

Designblok in cooperation with EUNIC Cluster CR will launch the tenth edition of the international Diploma Selection competition in 2024.

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 4,000 and the opportunity to present their work at the next Designblok. The partner of the Designblok Diploma Selection 2024 competition is Ploom.

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.

Applications for the 11th edition of the Diploma Selection will be opened in early April 2025.
