Design Core Detroit

 

BRIEF

To honor Detroit’s designation as a UNESCO City of Design, the Detroit Design Festival will transition from a weeklong series of events to recognizing September as Detroit’s Month of Design. The celebration will be an opportunity for designers, design enthusiasts and the general public to experience Detroit design and showcase what’s happening in Detroit locally and globally.

Calling all designers, makers, and other creatives to submit ideas for the Designer Putt Putt Competition. Five winning teams will receive $1,000 to go towards the costs of their materials. Additional designers beyond the winners may participate, but the costs of their installation will have to be covered by a sponsor which will be the responsibility of that team. If teams find a sponsor or chose to sponsor an installation, that design will also have to be approved by the Detroit Month of Design committee.

Info:
Please note that each installation must fit within a 10’x10’ space. The installations will be displayed on Thursday, September 20th during Eastern Market After Dark and on Saturday, during Light up Livernois, date TBD.

The goal of the installations is to broaden the perception of design while introducing an interactive and playful experience during the Festival.
