MINI Design Award 2009. "New air in town."

The fifth edition of the competition for young Italian students of design organised by MINI in collaboration with IED, with the participation of ADI.
Projects must be submitted by September 7.

Entrants are asked to "simplify, rationalise and redesign all the objects and systems that are meant to improve our cities without harming the environment".
The competition announcements says: "In order to address the issue of the environment we must improve what already exists and take away rather than add. Bruno Munari said that 'progress means simplifying things, not complicating them'."
After last year’s theme, "Adding value to water", the concept from which entrants are to draw inspiration this year is "New air in town".
The competition is intended for young creative artists, graphics artists, fine artists, architects and designers, Italian citizens or foreign citizens working in Italy aged 18 to 35; it includes two separate competitions focusing on the same theme: a competition on invitation for young professionals and one open to the public.

Projects must be submitted by September 7. Awards ceremony and exhibition before the end of the year.
