FSC Design Award Prize: A design trip*
The reward of winning FSC Design Award is a design trip to a country where the winner is going to develop the design and experience local nature and FSC-forest.
The destination for this years winner trip will be announced soon.
In 2019 the prize was an inspirational journey to Vietnam together with furniture producer ScanCom International. The designer will explore Vietnam's wild forests and meet the local people, who struggle to ensure forests or try to make a sustainable business by processing the wood from the forests. In cooperation with ScanCom, the winner will get the chance to make a design prototype at their factories with the local tree resources.
*Due to Covid-19 the prize might be different this year. The final dicision will appear here as soon as possible.
Requirements for participation
The submitted design should primarily be made of wood.
The design must contain one or more elements of the sustainable development goals.
You must comply with the stated deadlines.
Your design description and accompanying imagery or 3D rendering of the design must be submitted before the final.
You must send in a 1:1 model of the participating design for the exhibition.
Your design must not have been participating in other competitions.
It is also not allowed to participate with the same design in FSC Design Award and other competitions simultaneously.
Elaboration
Wood must be the main material of your design. Besides that your design should have commercial potential and sustainable thoughts.
Because we are dealing with demo models of your design it will not only be judged on the final details of your craftsmanship. Finish is however still important for the overall impression. The judges will add importance to a design concept that is saleable, sustainable and innovative. Your presentation in front of the judges and your submitted design description will also be a part of the judgement.
Your thoughts about sustainability play a key role for the judges. More specifically this means that you have to address one or more of the sustainable development goals (SDG). The sustainable element can be interpreted broadly (socially, economically and environmentally) and can for example incorporate involvement of local labour in the production, environmentally friendly transport, reduction of waste, using lesser known timber species etc.
