New York Festivals 2016 Torch Awards is now open for entries.
Young creatives between 18-27 years old are invited to complete this year’s Inclusive Design challenge. This year, New York Festivals has teamed up with NGO, Institute for Human Centered Design (IHCD) - which attempts to raise awareness of the transformative capability of design and encourage greater interest in design. Entrants will present their ideas via a digital media showcase – which will be featured as a permanent fixture in IHCD’s exhibit showroom in its HQ office in Boston. Five finalists will present their ideas in New York, before being able to work on their ideas with a New York Festivals executive jury mentor and pitching their ideas to a jury panel. Winners will have the opportunity to publicly release their campaigns. The submission deadline is February 15 and finalists will be unveiled in April.
