Chiang Mai (Thailand) - The
Innovative Design Awards (IDA) 2012 by Chiang Mai Creative City (CMCC)
is a new yearly initiative that aims to promote innovative and creative
designs across multiple disciplines.
Good design is critical for Chiang MaiÂ’s handicrafts and home decor items, but also for food, spa and health products, retail and the urban environment. The Innovative Design Awards seeks to recognise, celebrate and promote good, innovative and creative designs by highlighting emerging talents, and reveal Chiang Mai to the outside world in a new light.
The benefits of the award include increased exposure, promotion and support with exports, ability to enter other award schemes, as well as participation and exposure at national, Asian and international events. Selected entrepreneurs may also receive support to further develop their products, capacities, and skills with the cooperation of CMCCÂ’s member organisations such as Thailand Creative Design Center (TCDC), TDCI, DEP, the Department of Industrial Promotion (DIP), and NSTDA Northern Office.
Submissions are accepted online until 30 January 2012.
