Method of Application
Concept:
  • Contest for ideas
    Within creativecontexts.com, IED gathers the creative community taking part in contests in the production of ideas i.e. concepts, that may be shared and voted on, and which may eventually become products manufactured and marketed by the brand sponsors in the e-commerce area.
  • Submission
    In order to participate in creative contests, present your ideas and vote for other projects, you must first subscribe to the site.
  • Idea uploading
    You can submit your idea by filling the submission form right after you have filled in and uploaded your personal data for registration. You can describe your idea using materials of your choice (text attachments, videos from video sharing sites, pictures and drawings) that best describe your project.
  • Rating, interaction and likes
    Members can interact each other developing individual projects. They can vote for or “like” the project. The level of interaction generated by a certain project becomes one of the criteria of one’s project value. If your idea gets approval and public support, it has more chance to win the contest, although each contest has its own specific regulations (example).
    The sponsor brands and the IED team of experts will choose which ideas will win the contest. According to the regulations of each individual contest, designers could win: a job, a scholarship, money, awards or the ability to access the next stage of developing their idea – from concept to design – in the IED Creative Factory (Italy, Spain or Brazil) and then get revenue shares on sales.
Project:
  • Creative Factory – Ideas Selection
    The selected ideas will be considered by the sponsor company with the IED Creative Factory support – composed of a group of expert tutors for project development that involves creative talents for specific product areas - in order to choose the best ideas that will pass to the project finalization activities.
  • From projects to prototypes
    The winner designers will participate in two sessions (each session packed in 3 to 5 days) in one of the IED Creative Factory venues (Milan, Madrid and Sao Paulo). In order to let the ideas evolve from concept to project and from project to product prototype, the designers will be given support by the IED team through brand company managers and IED design and product experts.
Production:
  • The winning prototype and production
    These two last parts of the designers’ activities will be video-broadcasted on the IED web television www.ied.tv and on the creativecontext.com website. These phases of the project will be, again, submitted to the “Community consensus” which would select the project, put it in production and distribute it through coordinated e-commerce activities.
The designers will participate in the profits generated by the commerce to the extent and in the manner prescribed by the regulations of each contest.
