Dear School Management,
in just a few months, the next year of Zlin Design Week will begin — a week-long design festival that creates a space for young designers to meet, get inspired and start new collaborations. But your students can be part of it now! From December 5, 2022, to February 28, 2023, applications for the international Best in Design 2023 competition are open.
Best in Design gives young designers a chance to showcase their talent, receive financial support of up to €1,500, as well as feedback from industry professionals, and the opportunity to compare themselves with other designers and gain new experience. In the past years, Jakub Spurný from Studio Najbrt with his project VIRUS, Milan Flíček from OUR SHIFT with his collection Stop f’uck-King burning clothes, and the duo Karla Godenková & Karolína Matušková with their project Listovatel have celebrated success.
It makes sense to enter Best in Design, and we would be very happy if you could send out information about the competition to your students so that they can take advantage of an opportunity that could take them a step further in their field.
As a thank you for sending out the text below to your students, we would like to offer you a tailored accompanying program in the form of a workshop, guided tour, or discussion. Alternatively, a discount code for part of the program. We would be happy to help you with whatever you are interested in. If you are interested, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Below you will find the text, which you just need to copy and send out to your students, including the documents I am sending attached to this email. A separate application form can be found by clicking here <
zlindesignweek.com/2023/en/best-in-design-en/registration/>.
You can then follow this link <

On behalf of the entire Zlin Design Week team
