Talente Competition 2005

The new generation in applied arts and technology will have the opportunity to show their work in the international competition Talente 2005 in Munich in course of the International Trades Fair (IHM) from 10 to 16 March 2005.

Talente is an international competition for young makers in crafts, design and technology. Supported both by the German Federal Ministry of Economics and Labour and the Bavarian State Ministry of Economics, Infrasturcture, Transport and Technology, Talente takes place on occasion of the International Trade Fair in Munich lasting one week in the beginning of March every year. The aim of Talente is to present the works of young people with a particular manual talent.
The works will be the outcome of formal or technical considerations and experiments, showing something new and exceptional. In one of the fair's pavillions, it is organised as a special show, i.e. a special exhibition off the normal service of the fair inside a special exhibition architecture. Projects of about 80 individuals or teams from about 25 countries will be shown on a space of 500 m2. At the same time, all projects are being presented in a catalogue, and they enter the contest for the annual prize. The Talente Prize is nominal. Prize winners will again be published in the following year's catalogue.

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 international applications will be 29 October 2004. You can get the application form from the Handwerkskammer für München und Oberbayern.
