The delivery costs of all entries are the responsibility of the competition participants'. Any customs duties for import and export have to be paid by the participant. All costs associated with the return of entries or any disposal of material must be paid by the participant.

All entries have to be submitted as original products. Some exceptions may be granted (e.g. in the case of extremely large items or pre-production products, etc.) and in these cases it may be possible to hand in models, models made to scale or large format photographs (A1, about 841 x 594 mm, mounted) instead. Participants who have submitted a website to the iF design award china, only need to provide the URL. All digital offline media must be PC compatible.
Contributions in the category '14. interior design' should be submitted in the form of not more than three A1 posters (A1, about 841 x 594 mm, mounted). These posters should contain a floorplan / construction plan, a project description and an overview as well as detail photographs.
Contributions in the category '16. advanced studies' should be submitted in the form of not more than three A1 posters (A1, about 841 x 594 mm, mounted). These posters should contain a main concept, a project description and an overview as well as design details.

If entries do not arrive within time for the jury session at iF, the images and descriptions uploaded together with the registration form will be used as the basis for the jury's decision.

Entries which are extremely large, difficult to handle or very heavy and have to be mounted, can be registered for self-set up. If this applies to your entry, please send an email to the iF team responsible for the iF design award china.

We also need information on the weight and measurements of your entry. The decision whether an entry can be set up by the participant or whether it will be set up by iF rests with iF.
Small products such as cell phones or navigation devices cannot be set up by participants.
If you set up your entry yourself, all necessary material and tools need to be provided by you. Resources such as forklifts and ramps have to be provided by you or can be rented via the iF logistics partner Schenker.
Please inform your carrier if this applies to you, since any additional costs concerning delivery and collection will be charged to you. If you decide to set up your contribution yourself, you are also responsible for the disposal of any packaging material. If you set up your entry yourself, you are automatically responsible for dismantling and collecting your entry after it has been evaluated by the jury regardless if it has received an award or not. This also applies to entries which have received an award.
