The Prix Émile Hermès design award invites international entries this September.
Held every three years, the competition aims to promote new, creative thinking in the applied arts and design from designers at pivotal stages in the development of their careers.
The award aims to support the winner in the launch of a new phase in his or her professional life.
In 2008, 17 finalists were selected from all over Europe. (See their designs here.)
Now, the second Prix Émile Hermès (to be awarded in 2011) will be open to entrants from all over the world, with a particular focus on support for young designers.
