Design students in more than sixty countries are invited to enter the sixth Marksman Design Award, which will be held in the study year 2007-2008.
This year's theme is "Writing Instruments", which reflects the central role that pen and paper still play in day-to-day written communication.
Participants are challenged to design a pen, pencil or set of writing accessories that is both innovative and stylish and practical in everyday use, yet at the same time clearly adds a new dimension to the traditional pen. As in previous editions of the Marksman Design Award, there are attractive prizes to be won.
There are cash prizes totaling US$ 16,000, plus the possibility that winning designs will be put into production and included in next year's Marksman collection of innovative, premium-quality business gifts. Exclusivity and innovation are therefore the key criteria by which entries will be judged.
The Marksman Design Award is an initiative by PF Concept International, one of the largest producers of business gifts in Europe, Asia and the USA, to promote international interest in desirable, high-quality business gifts.
Opening of online registration by students: 1 Sept 2007
