24:4 for Poland

The 17th edition of the international make me! competition turned out to be particularly lucky for the authors of 28 of the 156 submitted projects the vast majority of them from Poland. Who will receive prizes from the pool of 50,000 PLN?

 

The international design make me! competition is one of the most innovative design events in Europe and a key part of the Łódź Design Festival. Its most important goal is to forecast upcoming trends and support designers making their professional debut People who have participated in previous editions of the competition particularly appreciate in it that it gives them the opportunity to make a name for themselves in the design community. Most often they mention that participation in make me! has helped them build recognition  thanks to, among other things, the exhibition accompanying the competition and presented at the LDF, or numerous publications in the media”, adds Michał Piernikowski, make me! jury and director of the Lodz Design Festival.

 

This year’s competition jury composed of: Joanna Krokosz, Tomek Rygalik, Kaja Werbanowska, Kasia Kabo i Tomek Pydo, Michał Piernikowski analyzed all 156 applications for hours, studied descriptions, technical documents and graphic designs… After long deliberations culminating in a vote, 28 projects were selected for the final of the competition – now the last challenge remained before their authors: the presentation at the exhibition at the Łódź Design Festival. This is when everything will finally be decided!

 

The results of make me! 2024 will be announced on May 21 at 18:00, during the opening gala of the Łódź Design Festival. Competing for the financial prizes, from a pool of PLN 50,000, are:
