RADO STAR PRIZE 2017 Contest

Take part in the RADO STAR PRIZE 2017 competition by submitting your project by the 13th June at 1pm at the latest.

Once again RADO is organising the RADO STAR PRIZE France with the participation of all of Now! Le Off’s new design talents. This competition rewards the most creative and innovative projects on show at the exhibition. Prizes will be awarded at the official prize ceremony on Saturday 9th September at the Docks-Cité de la Mode et du Design to the winner of the Prix du Jury (who will receive a RADO watch and a cheque for 5,000 euros) and the winner of the Prix du Public, selected by visitors voting online.
To take part in the Rado Star Prize France 2017, the candidate designers must present a project on the theme of ‘the technicality of materials’. The jury will judge work in terms of the designer’s use of materials, how they are transformed and the manufacturing process. The work in question must be either a finished product, a prototype, a mock-up or a pre-production model that hasn’t yet been commercialised.
