April 28, 2010The UU Challenge is a really interesting contest where 10 chosen artists were asked to create their own vision of the UU, in adition to that, they open the challenge to young designers around the world so the best 40 entries will be competing agaisnt the ten chosen artists and to make it even more interesting, they will have one representative that will create an image as well for the grand final. In the end, the 51 finalists and their works will be compiled into a book.
I forgot to mention that the winner of the grand final's public vote will receive a prize of $2000. In addition the Jury will reward it's favourite with a prize of $750.
We gathered ten inspiring artists around the world and presented them a challenge. We asked them to create their own vision of the UU and promised to pitch in a competing entry ourselves. In addition we wanted to present an open challenge to young designers around the world. The best 40 entries, chosen by a jury, will be competing against the ten chosen artists and our representative in the grand final. To make the competition memorable all 51 finalists will be compiled into a book.
