Here’s an info that will surely have it’s importance for the rest of the contest !

After having discussed and reviewed with the client the (very good) creations already submitted, we can tell you a bit more about which road to take to raise your chances of winning the 2500€ and the trip to France.

More than a specific innovation on a particular clothe or accessory, you REALLY have to anchor your submission in a collection concept, applicable to the whole summer collection – a main idea is essential, you have to explain it clearly!

The best example to date is a_frique ’s concept, who went from the attributes of the spider’s web, and applied it to a new innovative collection.

There’s two weeks left to expand on your existing concept and complete them, or to start fresh

See you soon!

It’s Ianma with his controversial video “Hit and Run” who will be broadcasted on MTV France, UK, Germany, Italy and Netherlands as early as January!

Congrats to him, thanks to all of you for your incredible films, and for the Youtube results and the Sneakers for life, refer to the Youtube contest page in a couple of weeks!!

Very happy holidays to all!

Degré7, a brand expert in creating extremely effective and innovative winter clothes and accessories and very well know already for its creativity and technological breakthroughs, wishes to launch its first summer collection.

Project yourselves as a Degré7 client, and imagine clothes and accessory concepts that he would need for summer activities !

Degré7 isn’t looking for finished products but concepts, in sync with their user’s demands. Propose concepts, ideas, universes, moods, patterns and build on them… and most of all, make them readable and understandable by illustrating them with a core idea, an atmosphere.…

Drawings, designs, patterns, sketches, outlines, 3D models, pictures, and powerpoint presentations are accepted !

2500€ for Degré7’s enthousiasts’ most relevant and acclaimed concept.

Here are a few tips for the iris Be Better contest along with a few samples to inspire you!

- Do not forget to include one of the 6 Be [taglines] that we listed on the brief. It MUST be a part of the work itself. This will help the jury understand which tagline you’re trying to interpret, allowing them to judge more objectively. You can use any font style, font size or font color, as long as it fits your work. It can even be a part of the composition itself (i.e clouds forming letters that spell out ‘be unbeatable’). Make it as small as you want as long as it’s readable and does not distract the viewers from your actual work!

- Apart from photographs, you may also submit graphic designs, illustrations, paintings etc. Anything you can send to us digitally!

- Remember the minimum size requirement when uploading it on eYeka. It must be at least 1200 pixels on the shortest side. This will allow the judges to have a better look at your work.

- Lastly, go on and impress us!

Works by Logix and cdceniza. Submit your entries at http://en.eyeka.com/partner/iris now!

Remember the list of 18 designs that were shortlisted back in September? All 18 works then went on for public voting in October and the results are finally here! We’re very excited to announce that 11 out of the original 18 made it to the top!

They will each receive an extremely limited edition Sennheiser HD 418 Headphones customized with their very own design. Now that’s VERY cool.

Here are the winners *drum roll*…
