Music is the poetry of sound. It’s not only the sound of an instrument, it’s the sound of every day life: the humming of the refrigerator, the whistling of the kettle or the sound of the wind whipping through laundry outside on a clothes line. For some people even a screaming engine of a Formula One car can have a music-like sound. What makes music in your life? We are already very curious for you to share you impression.

The current European flag with its twelve identical yellow stars placed in a circle on a blue field, was designed in 1955. Since then Europe has changed. About 30 million people from Middle Eastern, African and Asian origins are living and working in Europe. Besides these new cultures, the inter European immigration creates a new mix of cultures as well. In the last 50 years Europe has become a very fine maze of identities. What is the identity of this cultural, economical and dynamic Europe with its diversity in cultures, languages, traditions and believes? And what is the perception on Europe, from within and from the outside? How would a new symbol for Europe look like? Should it be one symbol? Or more? Designers are invited to send in their design for a new symbol for Europe. 12 Submissions will be selected by an international jury and will be printed on flags. These flags will be shown during the first edition of Design and Government in 2010 in Den Haag and Berlin. IntroductionThe call for entries is organized by Foundation Design Den Haag 2010-2018 in the context of the biannual Design and Government 2010.
