Participation

Students of all academic design, architecture, marketing and engineering courses worldwide are invited to submit their concepts to lebens(t)räume. 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 entry can only be submitted once and only in one category, but also in other competitions. Participation in the lebens(t)räume award is free of charge.

Entry Criteria open close

Submission of entry

In addition to the registration, all participants are responsible for the costs of sending their competition entries to iF either via mail or via a forwarding company. The entries must arrive no later than 5 January 2010.

In addition to their registration for the lebens(t)räume 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. The description must at least be written in English.

Poster specifications:

Format: DIN A1, 84.0 x 59.4 cm

All participants are asked to save the following data on a CD to be sent with the poster:

Poster: a copy of the presentation poster in PDF file format with a resolution of 200 dpi and a size of DIN A1.
Images: 2-3 print-ready images of the design in a high-resolution format: TIFF, JPG (highest quality) or EPS (300 dpi at 100% positioning, CMYK at a size of approx. 120 x 120 mm). The images should not contain any text. The images must also be identified with entry-ID_project title_No.
Proof of enrolment (a scan of your student identity card will suffice). If you are a graduate, please provide proof that you graduated within the last 2 years (scan or photo of your graduation certificate). If you hand in a team project, please provide proof of enrolment for each team member.
Participants who wish to present their project in the form of movies or videos must provide a link to these items with their registration. If this link is handed in at a later date, it will not be subject to evaluation by the jury. This link should also be provided on the submitted presentation poster, the application must be PC compatible and the movie or video must not be longer than three minutes.

Multiple contributions for the lebens(t)räume 2010 can be sent to our logistic partner K&N in one consignment. All submitted concepts and shipping packaging must be labeled with the entry-ID and the category number. 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:
5 January 2010
