WHO CAN ENTER THE 2011 COMPETITIONS? YOU!  SpringChair, courtesy Modern Bamboo
With the New Spark Pro and Concept competitions, it's even easier for designers to Spark! All designers, art directors, design firms and departments, ad agencies, marketing and branding practices, clients, manufacturers, student and non-professional or novice designers are welcome to compete, or just join the Spark Community.
Spark accepts and promotes all types of design. As you'll see on our Categories page, this ranges from product design to advertising, digital animation to brick and mortar architecture. Entries are accepted for any designs launched from January 2000 forward, and a design may be entered again, in later years if it did not win (each year we host a completely new Jury). Each entrant may enter as many designs as they wish.
There are awards for concept or prototype design—innovative designs that have yet to find a manufacturer or builder. In 2011 these will be judged separately from produced work, in the new Spark:Concept Awards.
All entries received by deadline will be judged by the Official Spark juries.
Jury decisions in Spark:Pro are made from the actual product or graphics. Large equipment, interiors, public spaces, buildings, digital and website design are submitted as visuals--usually on display boards. Most other designs are best judged in physical, production, model or published form. Please note—designs should not be sent to Spark prior to the published delivery period.
Spark:Concept work will all be judged online--no actual products or display boards are needed.
Please remember to document your design creation process. Consider all media for this--video, still photography, text. This is important for your own development and records and potential sharing for educational and promotional reasons.
