FAQs Archive - Spark Awards - International Design Competition

Q: I have an idea, but am not sure how to put my idea in motion. I am regrettably not an engineer or anything of the sort, and I have no idea how to get this entry into production. Any information that you can provide me will be greatly appreciated.

We always suggest contacting a local design teacher at a nearby college. They know the ropes!

Q: I need to replace the switching adapter for Halley desk lamp.. I would greatly appreciate your assistance.

We’re a design competition. like the Oscars… we don’t do switches… sorry.

Q: I went through the homepage and was deeply impressed by the competition. What kind of media exposure, online exhibition, yearbook or other benefits do entrants get? Do you charge any fees concerning the above benefits?

Good questions—in a nutshell: there is extensive media coverage of Spark, and publicity towards that end. Media outlets have included Curve Magazine and the great websites, Core 77, Yanko, Dexigner, Product Design Hub, ArchNewsNow, Bustler, Archinect, Death By Architecture and many more. We have an exhibition at the Autodesk Design Gallery in San Francisco, and traveling exhibitions this year in Asia and Europe. We also have long-term, searchable archive-galleries of entries on the website, and new for 2015, the Spark E-yearbook. Yes, of course we have to charge a fee for all of these winners benefits, but it is less than 1/4th the charge of the least expensive major European competition.

Q: May we ask where will the Award winning celebration be held?

The Celebration and launch of the exhibition will be in San Francisco, at the Autodesk Design Gallery. It won’t be a typical awards show, more a happy gathering of people who believe Design Can Make A Difference, and a first chance for entrants, winners, VIP’s and Press to view the winning designs in exhibition.

Q: Where should Finalists ship their work?

We only need physical entry materials from Spark Product; Spark Graphic and Spark Spaces entrants.
