Design Challenge
'A BETTER FUTURE' Design Challenge
A contribution to enhance the lives of the society by innovation and creativity.
Getting Started
Providing a focused platform in delivering innovative nature-based creatives to the community has always been Sprink's main objective. We are now introducing a monthly based design challenge, where anyone can participate in this challenge as innovation has no limitations! All it takes is a willingness to make a difference when it comes to innovation and some patience.
Our Goal
With this challenge, we are aiming to use a different approach to motivate the community to get inspired by the usefulness and ideas of nature resources through a creative lens besides raising the public's awareness and attention on how inspiring nature can be at times besides advertising our company to the public.
Design Brief
We believe that designs are not produced only for the aesthetics, but also the functionality and innovation thoughts behind it. We believe that designs can influence the society in an impactful way. With the challenge's topic-' A Better Future' posted in our social media platforms- Facebook, Twitter and Instagram, participants are encouraged to create a nature-inspired innovation with their ideas presented in any sorts of art form (sketches/ digital) based on our featured categories such as bio-mimicry, product and fashion design, architecture, etc. The main purpose of having these ideas is to combat any sort of challenges or struggles faced in Africa with 'poverty' as the focus.
What Are We Looking For?
The 'A Better Future Design Challenge' calls for design concepts addressing any aspects of improving the poverty conditions in Africa. We know that the sector of economy might be a complex problem, but this diversity means that there are just as many solutions out there waiting to be discovered. Creativity has no boundaries, so embrace your ideas, talents and make them happen, with the goal at heart to help those in need. Successful participation will define a concrete, well presented work for their designs. Any works which plagiarism is detected would be forfeited to participate in this challenge. We are especially interested in projects that go beyond familiar approaches by identifying unique ways to use nature resources in creatives and clearly demonstrating how these resources can lead to new, novel, or more effective solutions.
Why Nature-Inspired?
Nature is the best model we have for a sustainable, regenerative way of life. For humans to persist and thrive on a healthy planet, our systems must work in concert with nature’s systems. Hence, we believe that nature provides boundless inspiration and ideas in the design field.
