About competition

Designblok – Prague International Design Festival in association with EUNIC Cluster CR will announce seventh annual of Diploma Selection - an international competition for the best European diploma (graduation) work in the fields of product and fashion design merged with the following edition in 2021. The reason is due the postponement of diploma thesis defenses across all European universities.

Curators board selects the competition finalists out of all applicants. Product designers are assigned an exhibition space at the Designblok Openstudio (the central Designblok exhibition space which hosts about 40,000 visitors) in the Diploma Selection joint exhibition. Fashion designers are given the opportunity to present their collections at a Diploma Selection fashion show event. The international jury selects winners in both fields.

Winners get the opportunity to present their latest work/collection during Designblok and are also awarded a financial prize of EUR 1,000.
