Call for applications - International Trade Fair for the Skilled Trades Munich - Special show TALENTE
The new generation in applied arts and technology will have the opportunity to show their work in the international competition TALENTE 2009 in Munich/ Germany in course of the International Trade Fair for the Skilled Trades (IHM) from 11 - 17 March 2009.
In an area of 600 m², the works will be shown to a wide audience, with an international jury selecting the winners of the TALENTE prize. A catalogue will appear in print.
The aim of TALENTE is to promote young people with a particular manual talent. On the other hand, the audience will be shown the enormous potential which lies in the new generation in crafts and trades. The works will be the outcome of formal or technical considerations and experiments, showing something new and exceptional.
Participants are chosen from any section of crafts and technology. They will have made the artefact by their own hands. Age limit is set at 30 in the domains of crafts, and at 35 in the domain of technology. Deadline for all applications will be 1 October 2008.
The competition is publicly funded. This covers the space on the fair itself, the catalogue entry and the shipment of objects to and from Munich.
