Ciba invites young designers enrolled in design schools to participate in its XYMARA Design Award competition for packaging, furniture and mobile phones.

Using Ciba* XYMARA* effect pigments to enhance and enrich their designs, entrants can choose from three categories – furniture, mobile phones and packaging. The deadline for submission of entries is July 11, 2008. The prize giving ceremony will be held on September 18 at the Earls Court Exhibition Center.

“We want to see clever, unexpected, sensitive and beautiful designs that challenge the role and function of surfaces in these applications,” says Le Vin Chin, Editor-in-Chief of xymara.

Three shortlisted candidates in each of the three categories will be flown to London to attend the prize-giving ceremony, which will take place on September 18, 2008 at the Earls Court Exhibition Center, the venue of 100% Design, in the “Ciba XYMARA Theater”. Sponsors and jurors include L’Oréal, Vodafone, RENOLIT, Material ConneXion, form Magazine and designer Chris Lefteri.
