Jump the Gap – 4th Roca International Design Contest

This fourth edition of Roca International Design Contest is aimed at creative people who think towards the future whilst designing today. Roca invites you to create innovative solutions in bathroom and related products.

With this fourth edition of its International Design Contest, Roca establishes a platform for talented young designers and architects. “Jump the gap” offers the opportunity to create and design innovative solutions in bathroom and related products.

Jump the gap represents Roca’s support for the new generations of designers.

Objective

Create and design innovative solutions in bathroom and related products.

“Jump the gap” starts from the assumption that young creatives design today whilst thinking about tomorrow; a tomorrow when the limitations of today will not apply and when new needs, architecture, technologies and products will emerge which will help us to improve people’s lives by bringing them more well-being, hygiene and comfort.

This fourth edition of Roca International Design Contest is aimed at creative people who think towards the future whilst designing today.

Prizes

A single winning project will be chosen, and will receive a prize of €5,000 during the award ceremony in September 2011. No account will be taken of the winner(s)’ tax or other obligations with respect to the prize.

In order to make the result of the contest known to the appropriate public, Roca will present the winning project and the selected ones during 100% Design London in September 2011 (United Kingdom). 100% Design London is a prestigious contemporary interior design exhibition. This is an excellent opportunity for creators to make themselves known to designers, architects and international companies.
