New design competition – $10K grand prize

Saturday, March 6th, 2010

Design Boom has announced a new design competition with a $10,000 USD grand prize: Design for All.  As usual (regarding Design Boom contests), the guidelines are rather vague, but it looks like participants with a better-than-average understanding of South Korean culture will have an advantage in this particular competition.

From the announcement:

…the ‘design for all’ objective is made to increase the efforts and the pursuit of design production that can be shared by all, removing emotional and physical barriers by becoming an universal communicative social solution.

Yeah, the description is pretty broad, but ten grand is nothing to laugh at.  That’s a lot of cabbage.  Or, rather, kimchi.
