Hasta La Ideas

Re:Vision Design Awards 2010 is a new competition put together by Modern Painters magazine and Louise Blouin Media to celebrate the expansion of the magazine to “more fully include design in recognition of its growing prominence and importance.”

Designers and design students are encouraged to think broadly and imaginatively in answering the central question: How can design make the way we live in our homes more efficient, sustainable, enjoyable and/or beautiful? An international jury, comprised of leading designers, design curators, entrepreneurs and thinkers, will evaluate entries based on material and design innovation, performance and visual appeal, among other criteria. Limited-production, prototype and concept designs are the focus here: Products already in mass production are ineligible, while new designs created specifically for the competition are particularly encouraged.

The stakes are pretty high: the first prize winner will receive $10,000 with two runners up awarded $2500 each. All three will be featured in the May 2010 issue of Modern Painters and on the website ARTINFO.
