The contest

In 2009 and 2010 an (Un)limited Design Contest was held, in first instance in The Netherlands, in the second year also in Germany and Belgium. The first year about 80 designs/products were submitted to form the first (Un)limited Design collection, followed by another load in 2010.

To enter the competition, anyone could either submit a new design or make a derivative of an existing design submitted by others by using the machines in the Fablab or any other prototyping facility. For this reason, apart from the designs themselves, the blueprints and instructions relating to the submissions are also published on the competition website under a Creative Commons license.
