In 2010, the second edition of the (Un)limited Design Contest 2010 is held, an international design event! This year's kick-off was in Berlin, during the DMY International Design Festival 2010. Again, everyone can participate with a new design or make a derivative design using one of the entries for the 2009 contest. Go and remix them! Print a food design on your t-shirt or incorporate a design in your food.
Contest period
The contest period runs from 9 June until 9 September 2010, in which period Fablabs will be open to make your designs. In this period designs can be entered to join the contest. Participants can 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. In the 2009 edition of the contest more than 80 designs were submitted, with a winner chosen in each category - Form, Food and Fashion. These designs can be used in the 2010 edition of the contest to make derivatives in the new category Fusion!
