Students of all academic design, architecture, marketing and engineering courses worldwide are invited to submit their concepts to the iF concept award. Both team and individual projects will be accepted. Graduates of these courses can also submit their work if they graduated within the last two years (reference date is the date of registration).
There is no limit to the number of contributions each participant can submit. However, each product can only be registered once for the same competition. Participation in the iF concept award is free of charge.
In addition to the registration, all participants are responsible for the costs of sending their competition entries to our logistic partners Kühne & Nagel either via mail or via a forwarding company. The entries must arrive no later than 20 January 2010.
In addition to their registration for the iF concept award 2010, all participants will be asked, after they have registered with my iF, to send a presentation poster as well as a CD for each submitted entry. This presentation poster should serve to represent the essence of the design in the form of description and images. There must be an English version of the description.
The poster should show the following (for examples please see terms of entry PDF, page 5 to 8, on the right hand side of iF concept award startpage):
Poster specifications:
All participants are asked to save the following data on a CD to be sent with the poster:
Multiple contributions can be sent to iF in one consignment. All submitted concepts as well as product and shipping packaging must be labeled with the entry-ID and the category number. If you have registered more than one product for the same competition, you can
send these products in one box. But note: There must be a complete CD for each
of the products. For example: If you send us two products, you must send us 2
CDs. Additionally, contributions must be packed safely so as not to damage the presentation poster. Ideally, cardboard tubes, solid envelopes or boxes should be used. Posters must not be folded or bent.
Deadline for arrival of submissions:
20 January 2010
