Prague International Design Festival

ABOUT THE COMPETITION

In 2025, Designblok, in collaboration with the EUNIC Cluster Czech Republic, will host the 11th edition of the international Diploma Selection competition, showcasing the best works of the most talented graduates from European schools in the fields of product and fashion design.

From the submitted projects, an international expert jury selects thirty finalists, who will present their graduation works to the public and the jury during Designblok 2025. The final includes the presentation of 15 product design graduates and 15 fashion design graduates, with product collections displayed in an exhibition format and fashion collections presented through runway shows.

The winners of both categories will receive a financial reward of 1,000 EUR to create a new collection, which will be presented at Designblok 2026. The winners, as well as the authors of the second- and third-place projects, will be invited to present their work at the next edition of the festival.

HOW TO APPLY?

The Diploma Selection competition is open to graduates of bachelor's and master's degree programs in the fields of product or fashion design.

The application deadline is July 7, 2025.
