Talente Competition 2013

Young artist working in the applied arts and technology will have the opportunity to show their work in the international competition TALENTE 2013 in Munich, Germany, during the International Trade Fair for the Skilled Trades from 6th – 12th March 2013.

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. An illustrated catalogue will be published.

The aim of TALENTE is to promote young people with a particular manual talent and to show an interested audience 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 33 in the domains of crafts, and at 35 in the domain of technology.


TALENTE is a showcase and competition for newcomers who work in design and technology. It takes place as a special show during the International Trade Fair for the Skilled Trades in Munich each year. We invite new talent in the areas of design and technology to enter. In the design section, you must not be more than 33 yeas old in the year that the competition takes place. The maximum age in the technology section is 35.

Since 1979 the organisers have collaborated with training institutions, academies, universities and arts and crafts organisations throughout the world, who put forward their nation's best people for the competition. The world-wide network assures a unique view of trends and questions which concern young people in arts and crafts, making visitors aware of trends and currents, and of the coming generation of designer makers and inventors. Many of the young artists exhibiting attend the fair, to exploit the opportunity for exchanging ideas.

Talente entrants from previous years may not enter again. Invitations are sent out to over 25 countries throughout Europe and beyond. The contributions are selected by a panel of experts.
