Jury of the competition
Entries to the special edition of the make me! competition, “Heritage of the Future”, will be assessed by a jury made up of specialists in design and craft, representatives of the organiser of Łódź Design Festival and a representative of the Marshal’s Office of the Łódź Voivodeship.
The composition of the jury will be announced on this page soon.
The jury deliberates in two stages. In the first stage it assesses entries on the basis of the submitted forms; in the second, on the basis of the prototypes or products delivered for the exhibition.
In the main part of the competition the jury assesses entries against four criteria, on a scale of up to 100 points in total:
- originality of the solution and aesthetic qualities – up to 30 points,
- how well the entry delivers on the competition premise, and its connection to locality, traditional techniques, patterns, products or traditions – up to 30 points,
- quality and clarity of the presentation of the project, its functionality and ergonomics – up to 20 points,
- implementation, commercial, communicative or experimental potential – up to 20 points.
Entries to the regional category are assessed separately: original design, aesthetic qualities and ergonomics (up to 40 points), connection to the brief, to locality and to the character of the Łódź region (up to 40 points), reasonable production costs (up to 10 points) and solutions consistent with the principles of sustainable development (up to 10 points).
The scores of individual jury members in each criterion are averaged, and the results across criteria are added up. Full details are set out in the competition rules.
